This is interesting and being new I’m always stressed out about it. But I believe here up north it’s the humidity in combination with the cold that’s the problem . It can cause frostbite and respiratory illness. Plus the feathers get wet and the chickens get cold and can’t fight the chill. That’s what I’ve learned so far. I wish I could just take my chickens down south for the winter . It’d be less stressful for the chickens and myself! LolI’m not sure why the high humidity itself matters if moisture isn’t condensing inside. They need ventilation for the sake of ventilation but the humidity itself shouldn’t be a problem for them. Its almost always near 100% humidity in north Florida on the outside and it doesn’t have a negative impact on the chickens.
