Two coops, one question: will your built-in vents ruffle any feathers
Oh, the eternal coop conundrum, ventilation! I've been there, staring at those pre-cut holes and wondering if my feathered friends are about to suffocate in style. First, a little reassurance: those built-in vents are usually fine for most backyard flocks, but more airflow never hurt anyone (except maybe a drafty chicken). If you're feeling ambitious, adding a second vent on the opposite side creates lovely cross-breezes. As for wind direction, face them away from prevailing winds to avoid turning your coop into a fowl wind tunnel. Your auto door spot looks perfect; just keep it clear of obstructions.
