   My Coop

   If the humidity in my coop consistantly stays below 40%, and there are never any odors (other than when a birds drops a bomb right next to me while I'm sitting there), can I safely assume that my winter ventilation is adequate for my size coop/number of chickens??? I know humidity and ventilation are linked, but can they be totally separate issues too??? Thanks!

   Quote:Providing that your "nose test" for odors consists of bending down to chicken level when you *first enter the coop in the morning* (i.e after it's been shut up for a good long while) and inhaling deeply, possibly while turning over a deep chunk of litter, I would say yes, if there's no condensation/humidity and no ammonia smell you're fine
   
   Good luck, have fun,
