    <Very> Insulated Chicken Coop

    Thanks for your input. All very good questions. The POD starts out waterproof. There will be gutters installed. The welder can easily add any roof overhang that is required to protect the ventilation. That's not a problem. But good to add a line item to the design document. The PODs are...

    Thanks for the info. We're moving to the Barred Plymouth Rock laying hens. I won't worry so much about insulation.

    Thanks I will check this out. I have have hydro-radiant heated floors as the heat source in my house. I also used the same closed cell insulation in my walls. But I used the reflective insulation under the floors. I like learning new things.

    Thanks for your input. The chickens run free during daylight hours and the doggy doors would be closed up at night. There are lions and coyotes living around the lake. You make a good point about the metal being a heat & cold conductor. I will do some more research on how the closed cell...

    <Very> Insulated Chicken Coop

    I'm building my coop out of a 8x20x8 POD shipping container that is air tight. The coop interior + exterior will be almost completely metal. Not aesthetically pleasing but very easy to pressure wash as needed. It's also insulated to stay very warm in winter and very cool in summer. This coop...
