What kind of coop roof offers the best ventilation option?

IMO, you get the best ventilation from a Monitor Roof or a Clerestory Roof because the hot air naturally rises.

Might depend on.....
Where in this world you are located.
Climate, and time of year, is almost always a factor.
Please add your general geographical location to your profile.
It's easy to do, and then it's always there!

My article here has a lot of photos of how it's constructed if you need ideas. IMO, my DH and his friend, who works in construction, did an amazing job.

Wow. Amazing. I have new chicks and need to build a new coup for them. They are 5 week old and got moved to the outside about a week ago into a temporary coup I put together in an afternoon using plywood.
for the last few days I've been researching coups and looking at various designs. My original idea was to build one with a slant roof as it the simplest. However, when thinking about ventilation, this is the type of roof that I thought would be best.
My other consideration is predator proofing.
This design is also great for that as it makes it easy to use hardware cloth
