At one time, I thought the ventilation in my coop was enough. BUT... the birds were still very hot, so I put a fan in the loft area. It draws air from the front of the coop (which is a chain link gate)... and it fans the chickens, then the air goes out the back of the coop.

I'm newer to the chicken arena than most here... BUT! I now have 2 roosters... and they are quite an invincible duo. Thus far, the 2 roosters have not butted-heads... I'm playing it by ear. If they began fighting, I would have to get rid of the younger roo.

This is an arrow shed. I leveled a place with the tractor, brought in dozens of loads of dirt to level where the building sits. I made a frame and poured 50+ bags of...
@Mother-Hen-Michele ... I'm just glad it works... I was getting to my wits end... and we have VERY bad owl problems here... along with racoon and fox. SO... getting the ducks out of the pond into their coop is a priority!!!
The drone is humorous... but awesome!
