So do you think the 3 windows I have for it will be enough or should I put some vents near the roof?I"m going to second what Boppo said above - ventilation is key. Chickens can survive down to -20F easily, as long as they have a draft free area to roost at night, are not wet, and have adequate ventilation above their heads. Rule of thumb is 3 sq ft ventilation per chicken in the coop, more if you live in hot/humid climate. I wouldn't worry about insulating that shed, but I would worry about ventilation a lot. If you keep the interior and exterior at about the same temp due to lots of ventilation year round, condensate may not be much of an issue, if at all.
Good luck!!!
