Hope to get doors / windows / trim up this weekend, as well as black jack interior and get my metal roof on. What do you all think about the airflow and ventilation with this. Floor is roughly 8 x 8. Goal is max of 15 chickens. Total square feet of hardware cloth is about 35 square feet. 11 of that comes in the form of vents in between rafters. On the predominant wind side in the summer, the roof continues to incline, so the gaps between rafters will actually act as a scoop in the summer. In the winter (at least when it's rarely cold), however, it will be shielded by the house from NE to NW winds and will act only as a vent.
