Maximize Coop Ventilation (Summer & Winter)

Solution

Ensure the coop has excellent ventilation, especially high vents, to allow hot air and moisture to escape.

Explanation

Good airflow removes heat in summer and, crucially, removes moisture in winter. Ammonia buildup from droppings and moisture from respiration create unhealthy conditions and increase frostbite risk in winter.

Notes

Ventilation should provide air exchange without creating drafts directly on roosting birds, especially in winter. Vents near the roofline are effective.
