Thanks for the replies! I wouldn't be putting in insulation, its more like using the double-layer method to trap air in between the walls. Ventilation way up top near the roof. I designed a large walk-in coop but with the price of lumber there is no way I can afford it. My budget is $300-$400...
To keep them warm in the winter, and cool in the summer, isn't that what insulation is for? XD I don't use heat lamps or fans, so I do what I can to help them stay comfortable.
I was going through the chicken tractor forum but there is no way to search it for keywords that I can see. Does anyone have a plan for a smaller (3 bird) insulated tractor? I need something I can afford to build that will keep my girls safe, warm (or cool), and comfortable. It will be moved 1-2...

On to the strange behavior. The two hens are different breeds, but both are 4 months old. The rooster is 1 year old. When...
We have had to do so before, whether due to sickness or injury. The worst was right after we moved three states over to a new location. We didn't have the chicken area set up yet and had to keep our birds in a fence within a fence. That was the best we could do for that night. One night was all...
I was today years old when I learned that soy is high in sulfur... This stuff tastes like sweet eggs XD Would make a nice vegan egg custard with some tweaks. Going to try coconut milk next XD

Beautiful!
Anyone else ever make caramel sauce? I sell cajeta and dulce de leche locally, but I can't have casein so I can never have any myself. SO I am going to experiment with nut milks to see if i can make something tasty.
