I have been using a metal shed coop for the last few years. We have struggled with moisture control. Is there anyone who has successfully gotten moisture/condensation in winter under control? How can I add ventilation, and how do I keep rain/snow from blowing right in? Or any other tips/ways you have modified a metal shed that you like! I lost my whole flock to a predator, so we are looking to make a lot of improvements before we get chicks in the spring. Thanks!
 
Pics of the shed, inside and out would help here.

Where in this world are you located?
Climate, and time of year, is almost always a factor.

It's easy to do, and then it's always there!

We are in the Midwest. blizzards and bitter cold winters are common! I don't have pics at the moment. This is basically what we have. We used a hole saw along the peaks, but it definitely wasn't enough ventilation. I thought about cutting out the whole peak and putting in hardware cloth, but won't the rain/snow blow right in?
