What makes a chicken coop easy to live with?

Has anyone bought the insulation pack for the Go? If so what do you think about it and would you recommend it?

Anyone?

I seem to remember the general feeling was that insulation packs are a bit unnecessary. My hens have been through a couple of very severe winters and have managed fine without any extra padding . I did put an old plastic backed picnic blanket over the eglu one year but really only so the snow was easy to sweep off!

I don't have one so not really qualified to answer but to be honest I think its a waste of money.

 

I have 4 eglus and never had too bad a problem with the cold, I left my cube and Go open for most of last year during all the cold and the girls were fine

I think the lack of response probably speaks for itself! I don't have a Go, but I assume that the insulation properties are similar to the Eglu and Cube. I almost never close the Eglu door, even in winter - I think I may have closed it twice last year when extremely low temperatures/snow were forecast. My hens were absolutely fine.

 

I can't imagine you would need it in the UK.
