Hi everyone .... I built my first coop this spring. It is 6' x 8' and has 11 layer chickens in it. The birds are doing well, and cranking out the eggs (10 to 11 per day!). Now that it's getting colder (I live in Vermont) I've noticed some condensation on the inside of the single-pane windows I installed, which I keep open about 1 inch at night. I don't have any soffit or gable vents, and I think I probably need to put them in.
I've scoured Home Depot and everything they have seems to be meant for house construction, and not sized for small "sheds" or coops. Any tips on where I can find decent louvered gable vents would be appreciated. Also, do you think I need soffit vents (difficult to install now after the fact) or will I be OK with a gable vent at each end?
For reference, here's my coop:
