And I live in PA. It gets cold at nightMore is always better. I have 12 chickens and 5 ducks. That means 17 sq ft of ventilation. I achieve that by leaving the door open (their door opens into a secure run). Without the door open, I have about 9 sq ft of ventilation.
One night, the door blew shut in a storm. When I opened the door the next morning, the moisture in the coop was bad and it was super stinky. Whew! I felt bad thinking about my flock breathing that damp, stinky air all night. My next coop will have even more ventilation, and it'll be hinged flaps like in the example Rosemary shared.
