My coop build

Nice!
No passive ventilation for winter?

Thanks! Yes, there are 2 12"x4" vents below the eaves not shown in pics. I am debating on going slightly larger, up to a 12x6+

Can you stand up in the run? As i get older i like to be able to stand up to clean.

Open soffits, covered with 1/2" HC, front and back would be good...but looks like you have no back overhang to create soffit?

Yes, the run is tall enough for someone up to 6' tall. The coop is positioned high enough to get a wheel barrel yup to the main door.

I debated on framing it that way, but ended up closing that area up. My thinking at the time was less potential for climbing predators, but your system looks predator proof. The 2 windows and leaving the main coop door open during the warmer months keeps it well ventilated, but I definitely need to step it up for better winter ventilation up high. Not to much trouble to make the existing venting larger at the highest point inside the coop.

Since my last post, I beefed up the run some more and added electric fencing.
