You're going to want to add more ventilation to it when you get it. They never install enough.

Oh yes, definitely will. The only ventilation it has is the two windows. I learned that the Amish coops never have enough ventilation by reading through threads on this forum. So thank you all again for the invaluable information!!! We will add vents near the peaks on both ends and under the eaves on the back wall. And I also plan to add a functional cupola on the roof.

Hello from NY state! My chicks are on order and are hatching this week!!!! Delivery should be by Saturday depending on the hatch day. Coop is being delivered on Wednesday and to say I’m excited is beyond an understatement. I literally can’t sleep. Thank you so much for this forum and to all the members that post. I’ve been reading book after book and this forum is by far my go to place for information. I have learned so much and still have so much to learn. Looking forward to being a part of this community and sharing my journey, successes, failures and pics with all of you.

I am so excited for you!

Welcome to the coop! I use the Forums and Articles tabs at the top of the page to do research. You can get lost for hours. It's nice to know you are minutes away from getting help with questions and emergencies! I always check in the "What's New" section as well at the top of this page. This way I can read how I may have a similar question or help give some advice.
