Re: [CHICKENS-101] Winterized Coop

 

Hello Cathyrn,

Thank you for the advise regarding ceiling insulation I will add it. I wrapped the coop in tyvek before siding so there should be no drafts. I'm not sure what you mean by "ventilation with no drafts", could you elaborate a bit; maybe give an example?

Thank you,
Sam

Sam, I'd insulate the ceiling with sheet insulation to prevent condensation. Next, I'd make sure the walls do not have cracks where drafts can blow across your chickens. Drafts are serious bad news for poultry. Where ever you insulate make sure the chickens can't get to it. Do you have provisions for ventilation with no drafts too?
