Windows in my Coop

[PoppiesChicks]

We are building our coop now and the door faces south so the run will face north. I was wondering to get the best ventilation should I put a window on the north side and put a screen door on the south side. Or put a window on the east side to get more sun. I could probably put a window on both. Just wondering what would be best. Thanks for an input.

The best ventilation is up high under the eaves where rising warm humid air naturally flows. Chickens love a window by a roost where they can look out.
