for those wondering what's a reasonable humidity for coop: a number

[patandchickens]

Randomly browsing, found an OMAFRA page reporting on some "Eastern Ontario Poultry Conference, 2007" that gives 55-65% as a target humidity to try not to exceed. Probably this is for commercial barns. But still. I know some people have been looking for A Number. So, there ya go

Pat, aware there may be other numbers out there too, but passing this on as a data point

Interesting. Wonder what mine is? It never occurred to me that there would be a "number".

Is anyone using a meter or can recommend one?

(thanks, Pat)

Lynne,

Look over in the Incubating section of the forum, there are threads on which brands of hygrometers are more accurate and dependable than others
