Is there a reason that one could not use a dehumidifier system to alleviate the humidity? Serious question. My goat barn is highly insulated, has heat and ac available if needed, but the insulation alone keeps it at 50 to 55 in the winter. They have the same concerns for humidity/respiration...- MelissaNY

More ventilation? There are the 2 wall vents front and back, as well as a roof vent under the tin roof that runs the full 22ft, and 4 windows. How much more would be suggested? Ultimately it gives the 18 birds just under 15sq feet per bird, so I was thinking the low population vs the high Sq...- MelissaNY
