Where is the Louisiana heat and humidity meant to come out of this metal coop?

Beware - coop building is addicting. We started with something that size and it keeps growing and growing and growing. LOL My husband can't wait until this weekend so he can make yet another extension

The floor in the coop is 1/2" x 1" wire. Should have plenty ventilation with the coop door and coop floor open to the breese

If not I can cut vent triangles at the peak of the roof in back and front

Heat and humidity rises so ventilation is really based on what's up top

What you've constructed so far is a chicken cooker thats fit for maybe 2-3 birds.

I would suggest doing some research and starting over.


I don't mean this to sound "brutal" I'm just trying to save you the trouble.

I’ve read talk about ammonia from the manure rising and because chickens have sensitive respiratory systems it’s important for the ammonia to vent out above otherwise it hangs around and they breathe it
