In the Northeast USA in the old days, they would build the chicken coops with a s 3:35 hed roof with the highest wall facing south and as many glass windows on that wall as they could afford. Solar heat from the light through the south windows kept the chickens pretty warm with no added heat. Also there was minimal northern wall exposure to northern winds. The long rectangular coops had short north walls like maybe only 3 feet (1 meter?) and tall south walls. There were some coops like that down the road from me when I was a child.. If heat is the problem, you could reverse the design to keep the chickens cooler, I think.. My dad's family kept chickens. He explained the design to me and why it worked. He himself was a carpenter and built some houses and he would wonder aloud if the idea could be used to help heat houses for humans. As a former baby sitter for human infants, I would worry that your animals might try to chew that pressure -treated lumber unless you cover it in some way.

Sheep won't chew the wood. They only have front teeth on the bottom, not the top. They use their lips to grasp & pick up food.

12 by 4 sheets go from 15-24.00 in our area but not sure what people sell them for in other cities/states. Can sometimes get them used in good condition fairly cheap
