Which vent?

[Bcmacias]

Trying to decide between an 8x8 circle soffit vent, 8x8 square gable vent, or the rectangle vent. A window is going below the vent (not sure what size)...don’t want it to get too close to the roost bar which will be a little higher than the nest box. Here is a construction paper cutout of the shapes of the circle vent and the square vent. I didn’t do a cutout of the rectangle vent.

I like the circle

Doing some quick math the square will give you 64sq inches of ventilation. The circle will give you about 50 sq” so it’s really all about how much you need vs the look

Yes we are, and we are enjoying it.

It's really small....can be hard to ventilate....especially in a cold climate.
