This is a really good article on moulting. I have sent a link to it to several people concerned about their chickens.

Excellent article. I would love to see it paired with a pic of keelbone and a list of potentially chubby breeds.

This is a list of California hatcheries. About half of the links are no longer active. If updated, it could be a good resource.

This would be perfect in Louisiana, I feel your heat & humidity!
A drawing would be great but your pictures are very good. Please let us know if the blue paint works.

Eggcellent Article on 4 hen coop, attractive enough for subdivision use. It has a full set of pdf drawings attached and great pictures. All I could possibly ask for would be a material list. Lucky chickens!

Great idea & would be applicable in my area (Louisiana). I am looking forward to updates, I did look up "Ohio Brooder". How many birds do you plan to keep?

Thank you!
I am currently housing 23 standard chickens, 5 Muscovy and 3 geese, the numbers I won't exceed (for now) are 25 for chickens, 10 geese and 6 ducks. There's plenty of roosting space and nesting boxes but the floor space needs opened up. I also want to make a small bump out for the waterfowl so they'll have adequate nesting options, that's on my never ending "to do" list...

This article is short but the conversion of a purchased plastic tool shed to chicken coop is valuable because this is a way for people unable to build from scratch to put together a nice setup. Includes purchased nest boxes, auto door, feeders & waterers.

THis should probably be incorporated into a review page but it's a nice article about the Eglu system and 4 hens.

Good plan for a temporary shelter. Uses a dog crate and found/leftover materials. Comes with a disclaimer that it is not predator-proof but is designed to be inside another fence.

Beautiful coop for chickens & ducks designed to fit into an HOA's requirements. No construction plans but a lot of detail & pix. A lot of effort into meeting the birds needs for entertainment.

Good information and pictures for building a small coop perfect for a subdivision property. The coop and run can be separated and moved for cleaning. There is also an assessment of what they would change or wasn't so great. Bonus points for seasonal pics and decor!

Nice expansion to a cheap chicken house kit, adds considerable room to what started as a 2 chicken coop. No drawings, basically pics and an outline of what was done. Nice way to some ideas for expansion of a kit coop.
