Frostbite humidity levels?

[chickencheeper]

hi, we are first time chicken owners and this is our first winter with them(and we live in New England) we put in a vent in in roosting area and a wireless thermometer that transmits back to a thing inside, we have noticed that even though we just put a vent in the humidity has not changed(around 69% and tonight an all time high of 93%) so why is this happening? Will this cause frostbite?

One vent isn't going to do much. You need enough ventilation to bring in fresh air and push out the bad air.

What junebuggena said. There has to be some flow through the coop.
Not a windy huge opening but another vent of decent size on a different wall.

By the way.... You won't get the humidity any lower inside then it is outside.
Do you keep an eye on what the outside humidity is?
