I am getting 4 or maybe 6 silkie soon. I have a 12x8 shed for them. I know it's a big shed for just 4 of them but I plan on letting them hatch chicks in the spring to get more! but since I don't have many I am worried about them in the cold in such a big building for them. but I am thinking of insulating my shed, is it worth the money? what should I use? I was half thinking of maybe just getting cardboard or Styrofoam from my work left overs from shipments to insulate it was a cost effective way, I would buy paneling or something to cover it up. Or should I go and buy real fiberglass insulation or Styrofoam insulation for them? I just would die if I went out and one was frozen to death or really really cold! I am not heating it. I just want my first babies to stay worm. They will be 3 months old when I get them. I heard about piling hay or straw around the outside of your coop, does this work? I am going to use pine shavings deep litter method for inside the coop floor and I am wrapping the run in plastic for the winter and the run has a roof so not much snow should get in, its draft free and has ventilation as well. I Live in the maritimes and our winters get bitter cold sometimes. Thank you guys!!
