Dear all,
It’s been raining nonstop in nj for a few days. The first day I noticed some wetness in the hemp by the door, turns out it was the rainwater coming in at an angle through an open windows on top. I fixed it by applying plastic over most and leaving 1” open still at the top.
Today I noticed that one of the nest boxes has damp hemp. Im not sure if there’sa leak or if it’s the rain hitting at an angle again.
I have a very thin layer of hemp and the first day dampness by the door dried up by the next day. I’m hoping this does the same. Question: How long can my hemp stay damp before it’s an issue. Btw my chicks aren’t yet using the nesting boxes (2 months old ), so I’m thinking to clear the hemp from it and toss it into the floor area once it dries.
