New coop build

The rule of thumb for ventilation is 1 square foot per adult, standard size hen.

@3KillerBs We're getting confused on how to make ventilation without drafts.

What I illustrated is draft-free because the airflow is above the chickens' heads when they're sitting on their roost.

Have a look at my brooder -- which has 16 square feet of permanent ventilation and 10 feet of supplemental ventilation but which is completely draft-free at chick level.

@3KillerBs That makes sense! Thanks!

Cut out (and cover with wire mesh) these bright pink parts, front and back if possible (not sure if you will have a water intrusion issue at the high part of the slope due to the height of the top of the run framing).

Thank you @rosemarythyme !
