ok question for you: What should my coop humidity level be for a snowy/ rainy day??? I'm at 75% and I could smell ammonia in there. No smell on dry days. I'm still figuring out humidity thing like when to open more vents.

I wanna sit and read.... BUT, I have to run and do a dump run.

I have started up my chick and eggs business.... or rather I posted on Facebook to see who might want them.

A bit stressful... everyone lives a jillion hours north of me... a few want me to ship them chicks. I dunno how to ship chicks!!!!

I am super glad that I don't live up close to the metropolis... but of course that is where a bunch of my potential customers live... dunno, dunno, dunno

Other people take the 6 hour drive to Anchorage all the time... me? Almost never.

dunno, dunno, dunno.....

I had to post photos of my stuff.... I REALLY wish my Marans had better everything, because I wanna try to sell them for $10 a chick... we will see if there are any takers now that I posted pictures.

I told them $4 a chick from my currently non segregated hens (50% chance of some being pure), and my one olive egger was $6 a chick. Also $3 a quail chick. (actual quail, not a chicken in a quail color)

But I want pre-orders, because I can NOT raise chicks right now!!!

If in doubt open up everything first thing in the morning, if it is below -10F and goning to drop further at night, close it mostly up(never completely close up a coop) at noonish, or whenever you get home.

oh... if you can smell the ammonia, it can't be all that cold.... open all of the vents.
