What to do around window???

[21hens-incharge]

Another I hunted down.....this is the inside during construction. Yup 11 windows. There are 4 on each long side 2 on the South and one on the North.
The roosts run across the back where my inspector chicken is in the pic.

I love how much natural light you get

I am wondering if you can add some drip edge or such to help waterproof and give a slight slope to that bottom......

This is a good idea

My goal was MASSIVE airflow and good lighting. I have open soffits as well.

I hope you find a good solution to the water seeping.
I am transitioning to keeping ducks and fewer chickens. I am a bit sad that I won't have birds in that massive coop anymore. I am turning it into my workshop, building a duck house and going to just have 6 chickens in my smaller coop.

house (human) have window sills that are sloped to prevent water pooling.

All windows should have this.

Yes. It is also easy for novice builders to overlook while fighting through building a coop with no teacher.
