Not complete, but getting there!

Almost done! Just have a few more shingles to put up on the roof, and a nesting box to build, but otherwise complete! This pic may have been before I added the hardware cloth in the front vents. Babies move out soon!

I have a vent on each side (bigger than these on the front). Do I need to make the front ones wider? It's hot as heck in there, for sure.

Sounds like you need bigger/more vents. Chickens can die from heat stress/exhaustion. At absolute minimum you should aim for 1 sq ft of vent per chicken, but I'd recommend more if possible.
