What do I need to do to keep them warm?

I feel like I have chopped the coop up so much already...am getting lost on how else to add ventilation while not having cold air blowing in on them while on their roosts.

Did you take out the soffit covers front and back?

Yes

Yes

Do you have an open waterer in the coop?
Have you compared the outside humidity with the in the coop humidity?

Some climates and weather conditions are more prone to condensation than others. Even microclimates in your yard can make a difference. At our old house, the concrete carport ploor would get completely SOAKED from condensation at certain times of the year despite it being completely open on two sides and raised above the . But the brick of the back porch floor, didn't have the same problem despite being lower in elevation and prone to standing puddles after rain.

Maybe ask on your state thread to find out if condensation is a problem for others in your local area?

In the meantime, if you can measure the temperature and humidity inside and outside your coop it will be useful.

No waterer in the coop.

What humidity percent am I shooting for inside?

It only dogs up on occasion and an wondering now if it's just when I've been sitting in there with them. Maybe I'm just blowing hot air.

Thanks. I'll do that.

The same as the outside, whatever that is.
