Welcome to BYC. You'll need plenty of ventilation even in the winter.

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
I would focus on a huge amount of ventilation. I would consider building an open air coop where two to three of the walls are constructed from hardware cloth. For winterization you can cover them with a clear plastic tarp except for the top 6 inches to make sure that you maintain copious amounts of ventilation. You want to have 3.5 to 4 square feet of space per bird in the coop and 1 linear foot of roosting space.
