I am in the process of designing our first coop. I plan to frame with 2 x 3s and insulate the coop walls. As I look at several of the coops being built on BYC, even the insulated coops don't seem to bother with insulating access doors and/or external nest boxes. I would also like to construct fairly simple plexi-glass windows (again no insulation). How are these things working out for people? We live forty miles north of Green Bay, WI and I hope to do minimal heating during the winter. Thanks for any pointers, experiences and wish I'd done it different stories. If it helps, I am planning a 4' x 6' enclosed coop, elevated two feet off the ground, attached 4' x 8' enclosed run, 3 chicks now, maybe up to six layers down the road.
