Chimeneys I'm sorta familiar with (ugh don't burn pine inside your house TRUST me) but never heard this ram term.(well other then previously stated&with goats)

Yes let me do some searching the arm came from our local seed company that sells all kinds of gardening devices. It has been working for me for at least 5 years now. I'm impressed with the simplicity of the thing. BRB

I will read it in the morning, and thanks. I have to be at work in 6.5 hours so I am off to bed. I will try to get them the fan tomorrow. This is part of the reason I covered a third or more of the run and installed an outdoor roost for daytime since the coop gets hot.
Night all!

Ok. Good night

The site to visit is GrowOrganic .com search for automatic vent opener standard. it's just the arm that opens and closes with the hydraulic ram. You'll have to make the vent door. I'll take pictures in the morning from the outside. Not sure I can get to the inside as the chickens will be swarming me and I doubt that my fellow workers want me to be smelling like a rose.

Make that two. Center and bottom center. And they look right on target too.

There's a hydraulic vent arm that requires no electricity or batteries it operates on temperature pushing the ram open with heat and closed when cooler. I've built a metal chimney with the vent on top to open and close. Idea of chimney is when it gets hot from the sun then it draws hot air out of coop. That and the vent and fan in the door works really well.

Sweet....

Would you send me pictures and names? I was thinking of the spinning things(name?) like on my storm shelter.

Attic vent....

I have a storm door as the human entrance. I need to figure out how to hardware cloth over the screen area so I can leave that open. Any suggestions?

Cut the welded wire 1.5" x 2" larger than the opening. Use self-tapping screws w/large washers near the crosspieces of the wire, if all that makes any sense. That should hold it, even if it ain't so pretty.
