DH has got to be the most patient man in the universe. While I know he really over-built.. these are going to be some tough birds to do any damage to this coop, he followed instructions.. buffed up where he thought needed buffing, constantly made changes each time I went outside to inspect his work..

He still has some trim he wants to add, but prior to doing that he wants to add some windows and has bought some pre-screen metal vents.. the vents are 3"x6" and are louvered so no direct airflow is coming through.
The coop is 4'x8' 52" in front & ?in back nests are 14x14x16deep

So Heres my questions and a few pictures:
Question 1; How many and where shall we put in windows
Question 2: How Many and where should we put in vents
Question 3: What about Sky-lights, we found some that are vents/diffused light, they are not clear, they are almost that glow in the dark green. Would that make it too light for nesters?
