    I thank you for your time an opinion Ron, we never expected this many hens as the ones we were to sell were never picked up and a local farmer also needed to get rid of 12, not that it matters...it's just how it happened. Live and learn.

    Thanks for this Ron. I hate to squeaky-wheel here but in our area of northernmost BC, I've had two longtime chicken farmers quote far less square foot per bird. One has visited our coop and said the birds are not overcrowded. I think this is more what aart was saying with just the quicker...

    Listen, I apologize for the peanut gallery comment that was directed at the guy telling me to go out and saw a hole in my coop walls. It's an insulated building, not a stick shack.

    Humidity Issues

    Our 10x10 chicken coop is consistently humid. We house 53 birds in there and despite living in the north with fairly consistent temperatures of -20c we are experiencing high levels of humidity, usually 85-95%. As you can imagine, the maintenance is awful, the litter becomes soaked within days...
