I'm rehabbing a little shed (put in windows, etc for ventilation), but thinking on insulation. It's summer and I just want this done and can tell myself I can add insulation later. But time flies and fall and winter roll in and I'll wish I just did it while the coop was empty, clean, and still being tuned up and just do it all.
We're in Minnesota. Below zero is very common where I am, -40*F below zero with windchill is not uncommon. I do have the option of running a line for a heat light. Quite a few Minnesotans do not insulate. I don't say that's wrong but I'd to do what's best and yet not go unnecessary extra work, time, and money if they really are completely fine without.
I have australorps, black copper marans, brahma, cream legbars, and EEs. I will put some petroleum jelly on those with combs.
Thanks so much for any help!![Smile :) :)](/styles/byc-smilies/smile.png)
Added note: I do have the option of moving my coops into our garage, however it does seem a bit cooler in there sometimes in there winter because there's so sun. But there's no wind trade off.
