Dryer vent near coop

[alix321]

My house dryer vent vents near the coop. Is this acceptable? And if not should I put up something in front of the coop?

Greetings from Kansas, alix321, and

! Pleased you joined our community! I really don't know the harm. When you say 'near' how many feet are we talking? Not that I would know the "right" distance, but I really don't see how this would hurt them. Others may have different opinions. Thanks for joining BYC!

Now and then dryer vents spit out lint. I don't know if it would hurt chickens if they ate any or not. I would suppose it wouldn't go down their throats. But who knows chickens are weird - they love things like styrofoam, insulation etc.

I was thinking the moisture that comes with the air might bother them. It's on about 5 feet away.

Welcome!

Good question! No idea on the right answer! It might increase the humidity which, depending on your climate, you do not want
