Ensure proper ventilation without drafts

Solution

Incorporate vents near the roofline of the shelter, ensuring they don't create direct drafts on the animals, especially where they roost or sleep.

Explanation

Good airflow is essential year-round to remove moisture and ammonia buildup, preventing respiratory problems. Ventilation should be high up, above animal level, to allow damp, warm air to escape without chilling the animals. Avoid drafts at animal level, especially in winter.

Notes

Balance ventilation with insulation needs in winter. Ensure vents are covered with hardware cloth.
