It looks nice. Not sure why more insulation was needed as it appears to be an indoor coop already.
Some information about how it was built, materials used, etc. would be helpful for someone wanting to build it.
Excellent job explaining how to build this brooder.
The only thing I would change but not take stars off for it is I'd use 1/2" hardware cloth. That keeps out most everything.
For a kit, that's beautiful! There's only one picture of it though and isn't able to be built by anyone else as there are no details or links to the actual kit.
It looks like a great coop but nothing explains measurement, materials used, or how it was built. You can see a link in a comment below the article of what plans were used though.
When they come, our dogs somehow know to leave them alone, but the chickens all run for cover. See the kitten in the woods? She never had seen them before.
I started with the NR360 and liked it. But then I got into incubating more silkie eggs so found a Brinsea Ovation 56EX Automated. That "automated" means auto humidity. I never went back and now own three of those. They are expensive but more like a "set it and forget" it type of incubator...

If you want to just get...
Our neighbor, 1/4 mile away as the peacock flies, has three that come here on occasion. Nothing like these! These are beautiful, and that photographer caught amazing photos of them!
