Using a deep litter method (DLM) will help with that floor insulation & won't cost you much at all. You can mix in pine shavings, some dirt from your garden, grass, a bit of wood ash, etc. Some keep it 8-10" deep or more. You can rake it all out come spring, compost or put directly in your garden beds. Cheap & excellent fertilizer.We are up to 30 of our own chickens, and 10
Of MIL's, due on the 20th. 20 -25 of those will be kept over winter (depends what I get in my unsexed batch). DH came around pretty quick to insulating the coop, but we were debating the merits of insulating the whole underside, and creating and using insulated skirting, to insulate the whole underside of the coop we would have to tilt it up,insulate and sheet the whole thing.
Or insulate it the cheaper way, skirt it with plastic or some similar substance. Cheap way to do what you're talking about for the under side anyway.We are up to 30 of our own chickens, and 10
