Metal corrugated roof! Ugh...

The moisture is already there, it is condensing on the colder metal panels.
Usually it's best to install metal roofing over plywood or foam insulation board.
I even get that on a standard roof during a thaw with a foot of snow still on roof,
it's humid here so more ventilation wouldn't do jack.
Is it dripping onto the birds?
Where are you in MI?
Waiting to see pics so we can finger out a solution.
Hi thanks for replying. I am south west lower Michigan (in middle of Lansing, Flint, Detroit) if I would of known it was going to be an issue (the guy should of) I would of took better precautions, I have styrofoam panels sitting in my garage! I would of paid extra for him to put plywood down first, I assumed he knew what he was doing.
To answer your question... The whole roof is beads of water. I have felt a drip or two while cleaning, etc. I have never seen them come out damp in the morning so I don't think it is a constant dropping, but if it rains I bet it will with extra water. Pictures will be posted soon.
 
Before the snow and cold start up again I'm in some much needed help/advice.
This past summer I had a nice 10x8 coop built. It currently has two smallish windows on either side of the main door to enter the coop. I have it decided off so my 9 bigger girls and 3 ducks are one one side and silkies are on the other side. There are two chicken doors. The back half of the coop has a covered run and the one side has a covered run.
Now to my issue... The darn roof inside the coop constantly has moisture!!!!!! As we all know excessive moisture in the coop is not good, at all. I have tried spray foaming areas that were adding to the problem, added extra ventilation, opened the coop windows during nice days! Nothing helps. I recently bought a couple cans of flex seal to spray the seams, but my brother says that because it's a metal roof it's not going to help.
I am tempted to spray flex seal on the whole inside of the roof then put up that foam insulation.
Does anyone else have a metal roof coop that can advise me what to do before the snow and frost hit again? The roof is literally dripping all over inside!! Thanks for any suggestions.
I will add pictures tomorrow.
Maybe cover the metal roof, with another type of roofing? tar shingles or tar paper?
