To insulate or not to insulate?

I never said they wouldn't survive without insulation, but I'm sure they are more comfortable in a warmer coop, birds are tough no doubt about it!
 
I'm in Hudson, Wisconsin and am in the process of designing my coop in sketchup. I plan to insulate the whole thing - floor, walls and roof. I just don't want to wish later that I had done it and I really think I won't regret it. It should help keep it cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. I will have plenty of ventilation to avoid any dampness problems. Anyone see this today (the photo from NBC Nightly News)? Aren't we lucky (Minneapolis would be the Twin Cities obviously - Hudson is also considered part of the twin cities since we're on the border). But I know ALL of Minnesota and Wisconsin had the same horrible winter this year!!! By the way, I read we even "beat" Alaska for days below freezing!!
thank you for this chart! Im in boston and havent seen it yet!
 
Hey Mel;

We are moving to St Louis Park. What are the rules for keeping chickens there? Is a permit hard to get?
