Foam insulated Coop. Anyone?

[speedy2020]

I built my coop with 3/4" plywood box without the insulation and no heat source at night. The chickens doing just fine so far. The coldest temperature is around 10F.

What kind of chickens are you keeping? I should of mentioned I will only have about 5 bantams. From what I'm told they dont do that great in the winter. I could be mistaken.

I have RIR, Cochin, Brahma, Delaware, and Marans. I also painted my both inside and outside with Sherwin Williams for easy cleaning.

I'm no proponent of heated, people-comfy coops. But for a few bantams in your climate, I'd probably insulate, too.

I was going to post patandchickens' cold weather coop page til I saw she posted. I'd highly recommend you go back to her post and click on that link in her sig line.
