No draft blows open their feathers. The soffit, gable and roof vents are open year round as is the pop door.
Have a photo from the outside? That would be helpful

The deep litter method is different than just deep bedding. The idea behind the deep litter method is to frequently turn the bedding over, leaving all the poo in the litter to sort of compost itself. Feasibly you can go 6 to 12 months without cleaning the coop. The good bacteria is supposed to help support their immune systems. I have never used this method, I am too much of a clean freak to not clean up poop daily.
