that is a great question, I don't know. i originally put an exhaust fan in on one end, in a hallway outside the brooder room. The wall between the hallway and the brooder room has a 4 ft by 4 inch slot cut in the wall, 16 inches off the ground. Then on the opposite wall (exterior wall of the brooder room) I have a 6ft by 4inch slot cut in the top of the wall with a damper that allows the air flow to be controlled, the idea was to run the fan and pull air through the room, but when I turn the fan on, they pile up. So I i have th damper slightly opened with the fan off. So I man not have enough ventilation. Any suggestions? Here is a link to the brooder plan I used:http://www.msstate.edu/dept/poultry/plans/brplan.htmI built one of these, the arrows in the stall show the air flow pattern. I belive your right, I may have a ventilation problem.
