I'm surfing the posts here today looking for insulation ideas too. We're using a basic wood garden shed for a coop and it's worked terrific since we got the chicks in May. We have used the foam STUFF in cracks up high and also stuffed wadded up newspaper in between where the roof and side walls meet.
Had a crazy idea of stapling newspaper to the wood on the inside and then putting some wood slats across them to hold them better in place. I've heard newspaper makes great insulation?
Am I being too cautious and protective? I'm in northern Indiana and the winter's are brutal. Last year we had below freezing many times and many feet of snow!! This will be my first winter with my chickies!!!
Some of these coops posted are just AMAZING!!! Wish my hubby was that good at building stuff! WOW.
