Welcome to BYC and the coop. There are a lot of great peeps here! Ask questions and most of all make yourself at home. So glad you joined.
Those look like some really great eggs! I have windows in my coop. The hens seem to like them. But be sure to fortify them, so predators can't get in.

I was thinking about cutting a 5"x5" hole in the ends cover with hardware cloth then plexiglass so in the summer just remove the plexiglass and there would be a breeze also put a 24"x6" window the same way but it's on the front side where the sun rises. Any suggestions this good plan or bad?

I did that, but I didn't factor in rain and wind blowing it into the coop from that window. So I keep that window in now. So be sure that doesn't happen to you. Wetness is not your friend.

That's a very good point *palmface* didn't think of the rain. Hmm have to figure something out about that.
