Thank you :) I would have loved to hatch some eggs myself but I just don't have the confidence to do so. Mabye if I had the money for that fancy incubator I would do it. I had a baby duck when I was a kid - Miss Bugaboo. Loved that bird..

I dream of a world where chickens can cross the road without having their motives questioned.

Do I need to insulate my chicken coop? I’m using an existing shed, about 10x10”

My property is at an altitude of 2145 feet; my coop was an old 3 walled garage which I had transmorgrified into a coop with a fourth wall and roosts inside, etc.

I do not insulate. But that's just me. I have a ton o' chickens which can create body heat, but I also have a LOT of ventilation in the coop.

I'm at 4700' and I don't insulate either. I have a small coop with lots of straw in it. I keep a thermometer in there to see how low it goes and the lowest so far was 20 degrees and it was below 10 degrees almost 0 degrees when it reached that low in my coop. Also, my flock is cold hardy and heat hardy too so that really helps me.

I'm at 2700 so I'm in the middle. Feel much better, thanks :)

I don't blame you. I went ahead and joined since all my emails go into my junk folder unless I know you.
