OK to leave the windows open?

The chicks moved out to the big kids tonight. It's supposed to be very hot this week and I would like to leave the windows to the coop open to keep them cool and not have them over heat. However, we get a lot of afternoon thunderstorms. Is it okay to leave the windows open?

It shouldn't be any problem leaving the windows open (unless you get a tornado, but that might destroy your coop anyway). Do you have hardward cloth on the windows to protect your flock from predators?

Yes - windows are covered with hardware cloth. I was just worried about rain coming in. Thank you!
