Is my coop ventilated?

[Capto Veritas]

I like the walk in chain link with shade...seems fine for two birds. And easy to clean. but anything could dig under that...even chickens are good diggers. I put hardware cloth in the ground around the edges of my run. I'd def add air vents. I used some steel floor vents that could open and close in my Massachusetts coop.

Okay!

The roost is right there.

I don’t think you have the roost in the right place. It is supposed to go in that little slot.

It doesn't matter tbh...both a couple inches apart not enough to make a difference. Chickens must have knocked it over

is massive for that size of coop

The coop is the problem, it is too small to begin with. They should not sell those things.

The coop is ok for what it is a bantam coop. I mainly bought it for broody mom with chick, young birds, my seramas just ended up taking it over. But I would not expect it to be something I would house more than one heavy breed honestly. You can probably get away with some leghorns like 2-3 or smaller breeds of that size. 3 might even be pushing it. I have the coop under a dog kennel awning thing. The gaps are pretty large with the construction. The frame is metal which is the only nice thing on it.

Also clean up is pretty easy.

Did this mod to the coop they should at least include 4 inch louvers. Clear caulk not silicone that stuff is a hot mess when it gets older.
