Thank you for the warning. Wish I had better passive ventilation, but not an option right now. I’ll look into the Chef’s hat you mention.A fan in a chicken coop is a fire hazard unless it's rated for barn use or, possible, installed VERY carefully.
Feather dander and bedding dust can build up inside the motor and, if you're lucky, choke it out. Or overheat and start a fire.
A "Chef's hat" turbine is safer, but I prefer fully passive ventilation.
