I am re-purposing old shed for a chicken coop. The shed constructed of siding, 1/2" OSB on exterior, 2x4s, and 3/8" OSB on interior. I have already cut off the lower 2' of interior OSB all around (1' for deep litter + 1' to allow chickens to stand in the wall space and adding 7" to coop's width and depth). I am thinking of filling up the remaining covered (upper) wall cavities with fiberglass insulation (which is dirt cheap) and blocking them at the bottom so chickens could not peck it.
Given 1' gap between the insulation and deep bedding, can mice (or any other unwanted pest) still be able climb walls or corners and still set up shop there inside the wall cavity? I am in cold climate and I think insulation especially inside the wall where the roosts going to be would be beneficent.
