Ventilation question

Thank you everyone for your knowledge! It got down to 27 last night and I did not see any condensation
on the people door this morning. I did clean out their coop this morning, man can they poop!!!

Chickenwrangler, yes I am standing in the run in the second photo. I cut a vent hole in that piece
of plywood about a month ago. Our wind is mostly from the north, and there is no vent on the north
side of the coop, except for the soffit along the roof line.

Rustywreck - I believe there is no gap in the plywood on the ceiling, and I know there is no ridge vent.
The roofing is some kind of composite from Lowes

Jack - I love your coop. Thanks for commenting on my thread! I think highly of all of you.I was out there
for five minutes this morning and I thought my fingers were going to break off! I can't understand how my
chicks, or at least my rooster won't get frostbite. Should I put a small fan in the coop and aim it towards
the venting in the front?
 
That's what I thought, I wonder what would happen if you put roosts out there, would your chickens prefer that open space. Where you have that window, I would add another to the side, put it on hinges so you can change your mind...that may be the only thing needed to provide ventilation. Chickens have a body temp around 102 so think how nice some cold air would be if you had that kind of fever.
Added-I wouldn't put a fan in there, blowing moist air may do more harm than good...jmo.
