I want to build a small coop for two to three hens. I live in Texas in zone
8 for gardening. How big should ventilation be for hot humid nights? How
big should it be to give enough shade in daytime? Should it be insulated
for cold nights? Should I put it next to the house or further away? How
much should the roof be angled? Does it need shingles? Where can I get
plans for building one?
