What should I put in the eves?

cut to size and fill in with plywood?

I ended up stuffing most of the eves with left over pink insulation. It’s behind hardware cloth so no hen can fly up and eat it. It seems much better in there now. Thanks.

This is just a follow-up. I ended up picking up some insulation (pink fluffy) and stuffing the eves with it. I closed up 6/8 openings and also the gable end roof above the door. I still have the gable end above the roost open as well as a couple eves on that side too. The ventilation comes from the door which is not tight, as well as the lower chicken door when it’s open. There is no draft.
I’m happy to say that the coop is maintaining its temperature way above the outside. Yesterday evening it was 0° out and the coop was 19°. I don’t have any additional heat. A 20° difference is pretty good in my book.
Thanks for your responses.
Also, I will be removing the insulation in the spring when it consistently stays in the 30°’s.

Do you also have a hygrometer in there? With that much of a temperature increase after closing up the vents I'd worry about humidity.
