I finally got it down into the 50% so I got it figured out. I had a chicken expert come out awhile ago and she said I was fine size wise with the ventilation we had. So with the additional ventilation and some tweaking inside with the droppings, I think it is solved. It hasn't been very long since we cleaned it but it has been a week since I had cleaned out the droppings. I can't put in a poop dropping board so I have to clean it out of the bedding (which is pine shavings) every few days. I just was a little lax over Christmas and then the temps dropped so I forgot to do it. Just need to put some hardware cloth over the holes to keep out any pests. I will do that tomorrow. Sorry I didn't get back sooner, I have been super busy these last couple of days. Thanks for all your input. I knew it could be done just couldn't understand what I was doing wrong until I spoke with my chicken lady and remembered I hadn't cleaned up the extra poo recently. I try to keep on it but this holiday season has been crazy.
