Thanks everyone, another question... Should I insulate my coop? If so, what should I use?

Thanks so much, but i read somewhere that the plymouth rocks don't to too well in the heat. Is this true?

Okay, so I'd like to get new chickens (my first ones were cornish X's so they died after a few months but i really like them so i want to try again), but I have no idea which breed i should get. I only want girls. And I only want to get 2 or 3 due to the limited amount of space. -I live in...
