Are you looking for something that will relay to a station inside the house?
You may want two of them, one for inside the coop and one for outside the coop....
....because you'll never get lower humidity inside that whatever it is outside.

What ever you choose, they are pretty easy to test for accuracy.

No, I'm ok with checking it when I go out to the coop.

If I use one inside the coop and one outside the coop, how do I know what exactly is going on?

If it's more humid inside the coop than outside, you'll know you need more ventilation.

Oh ok. Good deal... so do you have a brand you'd suggest?

Sorry, I don't....I think about anything you pick up at the hardware store will work for what you want if you test it first so you can adjust your readings if it's off.
