Pics of my coop, is this enough ventilation?

Nice job, Penny. 2?... What is the size of the coop, and is the run predator proof? As long as you don't get rain blowing in, you're good.

The coop is 4' x 8' and the run is 16' x 18'. The whole run is covered in HC, including the top. We dug the HC down to about 16 inches (could be 18, not sure). Where the HC meets on the sides, it is "sewn" together with stainless steel wire. Though I would probably do it differently now after seeing other runs I like better on here! So far, it hasn't rained into the coop but the run does get rain mostly on the south side and some on the west side. We plan on getting a metal roof eventually with a bit of overhang and DH wants to put a gutter on the south end.

That’s a nice sized set up how many chickens do you think you could keep in it? What is HC?

HC is Hardware Clothe isn’t it?

Thank you! Yes, that is hardware cloth. I'm not sure how many it could hold, we can only have 6 total and since we don't free range, I wanted to make sure they had plenty of room.
