I am going to modify my vents even though they work OK. I find my peaked roof coop holds more MOISTure then my single slant coop.
In my big house the vents are on the long sides and not at the same height. The vents run the entire 14' both sides. I will add a vent to the south wall as high as possible near the peak. Not doing it today since my humidity is not bad. I just want more bad air out/good air in.
FREAKING FROZEN TATERS!! You are COLD.
Odin certainly has more to deal with since he has big ole wattles and comb.
Busy h8en Smuv for her toasty temps! Oh wait.... Do I see rain in that forecast??
OK that means mud. Not h8en then!

I dare say!! Wanna trade with someone here??
Just not neighborly to hog all them nice degrees!
We get some almost toasty 20 degree nights then it's back to 15, 18. I do get to bask in some mid 30 degree sunshine. 
Apryl, FNF,
How cold are you guys! Taters!
We been down in the - just a couple times so far.
I would be keeping an eye on the relative humidity and comparing it to the in the coop humidity.
Nothing you can do if the outside humidity is high. If its say 50% outside the coop and 70% in the coop the ventilation may need adjusted, bedding changed that sort of thing.
If you have a slanted one direction roof adding holes on the low side and the high side causes more air to flow up and out taking the wet with it. It works much better then large vents on side walls directly across from each other.
Ya'll probably already knew that but I toss it out there in case other (lurkers) don't.
Sunday is supposed to hit 28* but then the humidity goes up too. The coop has a peaked roof with 2 large vents in the gable ends. It wasn’t originally a coop... When the roof got replaced small gaps showed up at the top of the short walls but they probably aren’t enough. If it were my building I’d go out with a drill bit and make holes to vent properly. But it’s not so for now my poor babies have no choice.
