I am also struggling with temps and timing... I have many things started in a large heated floor chamber. I Bilta large coop once, went with a smoke clear plastic roof. Wonderful idea to let the sun in. Let it overhang over a foot on every side, kept the deep litter dry. Primed and painted all of it thrice, much of it with spar varnish. If you enjoy whimsical color, paint stores have miss tinted they sell for 10 cent on the dollar. At 5$ a gallon for the fancy paint it looked great. I also strung led Christmas lights all around the inside of the roof, kept them laying all winter with 13 hours of light. Made maintenance easy too.
