I have both rabbits and chickens who deal with the cold pretty well, but I'm tired with the waters frozen all the time and the frost bite. I thought, well is there a safe insulation I can use?
Thank you!
 
I can't exactly describe it but it was a quick built shed from the previous owners, its about 80sqf and 8ft tall

Frostbite is often caused by too much humidity in the coop and not enough ventilation more often than by cold weather itself. It's been down to -22 F here. No insulation in the coop. Two 1 by 3 foot vents, one 2 by 2 foot vent and the pop door open all the time. No added heat. Water is kept outside in the run with sides covered in clear plastic shower curtains. Waterer is a plastic tote/ horizontal nipples/stock tank deicer and supplied the girls with thawed water even at -22. No frostbite yet and I think we're through the coldest part of the winter.
 
Yeah I was wondering about that, my chickens rarly get frost bite or just a bit but I still don't like it. Oh wow that crazy I'm impressed, I'll check my ventilation
