I was at Lowe's tonight, looking at insulation options. What do you think of this:

It is like styrofoam with a silver backing. Would the chickens peck at it? If so, I would use 1/4" plywood over the insulation.

Anyone Vapor Lock their coops?

That's what I almost used. It's good stuff. You do need to cover it with something because chickens will peck at it. You can install it right over the studs, too (you can cut it to fit between the studs, also...whichever way works best in your set up). The reflective part only works when it's facing an open space or gap of at least 3/4 of an inch, though.

did you leave the window wide open during the winter?

Whatever way you decide to insulate, you must cover it with some sort of plywood so that the chickens can't get to the insulation and peck at it. You can use 1/4" luan or any sort of plywood or paneling perhaps but it really should be covered.

When I was insulating my coop with the blue foam insulation, the girls had torn the bottom portion apart by the next morning. So, I would recommend covering the insulation before letting the girls have their way with it.
