During the winter, we open the shades on the south and east facing window for the solar gain we can get. It helps that we ahve a darker tile in the diningroom, that soaks up alot of heat during the day. Some days there is enough sun-heat that the furnace never kicks in until early evening (when the sun is setting).
I am wondering if you put a row of concrete block inside, infront of the window to soak up the sunlight it would help to add warmth to the coop?
In my growhouse, I have a row of plastic bottles that I spray painted black, filled with water, then patially burried in a pea gravel. Even with 9 degrees the other night, and every night for the past 1 1/2 weeks below freezing, I still have spinach growing in there. And it is only covered in plastic!
