How many birds can my coop hold? *Pics*

Where would you suggest I add ventilation?

Hmm, I’m not sure. Let me do some research.

The roof is corregated steel. Whats wrong with not having good ventilation? I know that it needs it and am not disagreeing but wondering.

A metal roof is generally attached to purlins which should be attached to rafters but with the span on the coop, you may just have purlins, maybe made from 2x4. I'd have to see the ceiling of the coop to see the framing of the roof.
To extend the overhangs you would need to sister the rafters and get another sheet of roofing with the same profile and more metal roofing screws.
Where are you located in the world in general?
Do you have snow loads?
How cold do your winters get?
How hot do your summers get?

And of I remove the board do I replace it with the corregated wire?

The hottest the summer got this year it almost never surpassed 86. Winters got down to 7 degrees? Maybe. I don't remember. And yes on the snow. But since the roof if the corregated steel it just slips right off
