To cover in siding or wire for venting?

[johnniecourtney]

The triangle above the window in the coop right now has nothing covering it. I'm wondering if we should cover it in the OSB or just wire for ventilation? For vents, there's also that window that we're going to put wire over and open in warm weather, and we were also going to add another vent/window above the nest box.

Is it better to have it sheeted for warmth? Or wired for ventilation?

Thanks!

Great coop!! I'm wondering the same thing. My run/coop is totally contained, but my 'coop contractor - indulging husband' left a 5" open space over the coop within the run. I'm thinking it needs to have some of the 1/2 welded wire JUST IN CASE. Maybe it's a Mom thing?

I would make it for ventilation, but at the same time be able to open it and close it tight if I have to if winter get real cold.
