Coop Insulation - Good idea?!

Hi,

Should I put insulation in my home made coop?  Getting my plans together just now and it seems like a good idea to have double walls with some thin-ish insulation between.  The walls would be well sealed to stop mites etc moving in.

Should keep things warmer in winter and more stable in summer.  Any coops I've seen have pretty thin walls with no insulation other than the bedding.  I know chickens can handle the cold but that doesn't mean I can't try to make things a bit more comfortable. 

Any thoughts?!

Never bothered with mine, and I read chickens cope with colder temp's better than hot. But I may be wrong..Aden..

Hi chucks have more of a problem with keeping cool rarther than keeping warm they are born with a dovet to keep them snug  as keggs said if you go to link it will suprise you how snug they are

If you can insulate to avoid very high and very low temperatures without leaving spaces for red mite to infest it would be a good thing but not really essential for the hens.

just make sure your coop is the right size for the number of hen you get, waterproof,draughproof,foxproof and well ventilated and they will be fine...
