Oh WOW... I didn't even see that! Yes, it was!!! Dang... I need more chickens to get me off the computer! LOL!
I will say this... living in the extreme cold that we have, the one major regret I have on both of my coops is that I didn't insulate the floors. I may use the spray foam...
I wonder if you could spray a foam insulation in the flooring, sandwiched under the plywood, if that would keep the mice out. I forget about the mice... here, they're just extra protein for the chickens! LOL!
My first thought is that with only 5 chickens in that large area, you're going to have to either have a VERY well insulated area, or add heat. I like the idea of the roosts under the stairs, as the stairs will trap the heat. You might want some temporary walls/ceiling to constrict the space to...
