We are in SE Missouri, so we get all of the weather. Summer humidity here can be brutal. We do have the option of adding power to the coop, and a neighbor suggested adding a fan in the back window to increase ventilation. This was a regular wooden shed that had the metal siding and some roof insulation added to it, so I’m hesitant to cut a bunch of holes through multiple layers of wall if I can accomplish the same effect another way.
I took the suggestion of someone on here and stapled down some thick plastic under the shavings. I figured if it wasn’t durable enough I can replace it with linoleum when it’s time for a clean out. Maybe I can come by a cheap piece of scrap linoleum between now and then!
That’s beautiful! Congratulations!
Or even a bunch of pieces that you can glue down together, not like anybody’s going to see it under all that wood shavings. I put linoleum under my sand in my coop because I didn’t want the plywood bottom that I nailed in to get wet or soak in feces.The sand usually absorbs any moisture until I pick everything up in the morning but I didn’t want it to soak into flooring because I don’t like chicken poo.
