here’s a picture of my coop as it stands now. the walls go right up to the roof rafters and while it’s not air tight, it’s pretty snug.
for ventilation i’ve currently got the one window (2’x2’) and the pop door is always open since the run is predator proof.
i’m thinking i need more air flow and i think opening vents between the rafters right under the roof line is the move.
i think i can do a triangular vent above the person door, here:
along with vents on the window wall, here:
i also have spots along the back wall of the coop i can vent as well. i just think the last one closest to the roosts should probably be left alone because they like to perch on the highest roost and i don’t want drafts at their head level.
all vents would be covered by hardware cloth, of course. thoughts on this plan? am i missing anything?
