Ventilation in the Coop

So I recently got a new coop for the ducks and chickens and I was wondering what are some good tips for ventilation.

Howdy and Welcome to Backyard Chickens.

Glad to have you here with us. Enjoy your time here at BYC!
Could you post some pics if your coop? Would be easier to suggest any ventilation issues.

Thanks for joining our community!

Here are a couple good articles on ventilation. General rule of thumb is 1 sq ft of ventilation for every 10 sq ft. of coop space. Predator proof openings with 19 g 1/4 or 1/2 inch hardware cloth.
