We live in Auburn and are getting ready for chickens in our backyard. We have had chickens twice before, in Florida.Hi. I'm from Gorham Maine, neighbor and I did insulate the coop. I had a thermometer in it and it usually registered 10 degrees warmer than the outdoors. It's a 6x6 pitched roof. Actually I got it from Shed Happens in Windham. My husband custamized it for chickens with roosts and nest boxes etc. I have 12 hens and 1 rooster. Merry
