Awesome! I think ours will look a lot like yours actually. Only the particle board will be a little shorter, more like waist height. Thanks for posting the pictures.

Actually the insulation helps keep it cool in the summer if you have adequate ventilation. It works fabulously in our other coop. And we really do have to insulate or they absolutely will get frostbite. It's not unheard of to have temps below -20, but the worst part is the wind out here on the prairie. It can drive that -20 down even lower with wind chill. It's so windy here they converted the county where I grew up into a wind farm. Giant wind turbines everywhere!

Wow! Awesome! It's great that you have space for a brooder and all those breeding pens.
