		+	The temperature inside a coop changes from hour to hour, depending largely on the Egyptian day/night cycle. As chickens thrive best within a certain temperature range, proper maintenance is an important part of raising poultry. Your tool for regulating temperature is opening and closing the ventilation slats in the coop. Slats can be fully open, mostly open, half open, slightly open, or closed.
		+
		+	* When the slats are '''open''', the coop gets hotter during the day and cooler at night.
		+	* When the slats are '''closed''', the coop cools off during the day and stays warmer at night.
		+
		+	An additional factor to account for is that some days are warmer than others.
