We recently cut down some trees behind the building used as a coop. The next day, there was loads of condensation on the ceiling.
I tried making the vents bigger, but it's still getting really wet, whereas it was dryer before, with less ventilation. I'm at a bit of a loss.
There is currently loads of ventilation, the building is huge and isn't even fully stocked, so I don't understand how the condensation is forming.
It's 12' x 24', about 7.5' tall and there are 40 chickens in it (18 LF and 22 small bantams). I can measure exactly how much ventilation there is, but it'll take a while. It goes all the way round under the roof. There are also gaps in the doors and one of the walls.
I really regret cutting that hedge back down to a hedge height rather than leaving it as trees :-(
