Do I need insulation?

Well, but the point is that if you insist on using heat, you can use much less wattage if you insulate, right?

(In fact, the great majority of people will find they need zero watts, at least the great majority of the time

Something in your eye Pat?

Insulating sounds like a good idea.

Doesn't that depend on which side of the 45th parallel you live on?

I'm in northern MI's lower peninsula (just south of Alpena and the 45th.) I'm not insulating but I'm getting some of the hardier chickens to compensate. I'll have the option to turn on a lamp if it gets too chilly though.

The question is, what is too chilly?
