Re: [CHICKENS-101] Winterized Coop

 

Good Morning Sam, Vents at the peaks or vents on top to vent the humidity from their breathing. You'd be amazed at how much water vapor is given off by their little bodies; in the winter that humidity has to have a release from the coop. I'd get vents that you can adjust. The humidity is why I recommended the sheet insulation along the inside roof. Mine in my huge main barn is tacked up with nails at an angle in case I want to removed them when I power wash the barn and repaint.

Hello Cathyrn,

Thank you for the advise regarding ceiling insulation I will add it. I wrapped the coop in tyvek before siding so there should be no drafts. I'm not sure what you mean by "ventilation with no drafts", could you elaborate a bit; maybe give an example?

Thank you,
Sam
