Hello I,m new to the site so please bare with me. I built a very nice 8 by 12 coop. raised 10 inches off the ground. Put a sloped tarpaper @ metal roof. Put in nice fan up high for summer air flow to the outside. Put in a floor level vent in the wall. Winter coming so I blocked both of those holes with blue foam board. I put a heat lamp with a timer I installed a timer on day light from 7 to 7. Ok well the darn floor is always damp We use pine shavings. My wife cleaned the coop 2 weeks ago and put down a lot of pine shavings, After 3 days it was matted down and turned nasty brown wet look. I wanted to blame the water tank. but thats not it. Is ventilation the problem I mean its damp even in the corners . I even insulated the ceiling and 2 foot down the sides. HELP Old Jim Athol Idaho
