(( sorry, ranting below! ))
It's been around 95% humidity OUTSIDE the past few days, blizzard conditions with freezing temps and arctic winds, blowing snow and IT'S SO WET AND DAMP!!
How on earth am I supposed to keep the coop inside at less than 95% humidity when it's that wet outside??
I had to close off all the air vents as freezing wind was pushing in, the girls are shivering and am very frustrated at the whole thing!
I've patched and insulated the old coop as best as I could but it's still damp, cold and drafty - the heat lamp is on 24/7 but doesn't seem to do much except skyrocket our electricity bill (I have a 9-week old pullet under there, alone because the other girls pecked her to bleeding point).
All this and winter is barely starting.
