Nicely presented, logical and easy to follow. A well thought out article.
(It also explains why my chickens spend a large portion of the day napping under my shrubs. ☺️)

A great coop with lots of photos and plans to show how it all came together. Very detailed and informative. Thank you for putting this together ByBob, it will help a lot with my coop build too!

Simple, straightforward advice giving the reason behind each piece. It is easier to remember advice when you know why should or should not do something. Very helpful.

Nice to see positive action and compassion to what some may consider a "hopeless" case.
This may encourage others to try harder when they may have otherwise given up. I know it has educated me.
Good on you mate. ?

Nest Boxes; why do we make a sitting hens job so difficult?

My flock has no rooster and I am unlikely to ever have a hen incubate eggs. That doesn't mean I am not curious about the subject, especially after reading various hatch-a-long threads and discovering that incubator success rate is a lot lower than I'd realized.

Thank you for this article Shadrach. It really illustrates that natural is best and satisfies my curiosity.

The hatch rate failure using an incubator is an interesting subject.

Pecking! Not all pecks are equal.

I had never really thought about the different types of pecks until I read this article. I look forward to observing my hens more closely with these ideas in mind and seeing what I can learn about chicken psychology. :)

Thanks for reading the article. It's the grab I would like many on this forum to identify. I read lots of hysterical posts about people saying they got aggressively pecked by a rooster but I believe that these roosters are in fact trying to mate with their keepers.

It always sounded like "Predators! Come and get me!" to me.
Thanks for the enlightenment @ByBob :)

This must be the prettiest most detailed coop and run I've ever seen! It looks like you've thought of everything for your girls and you. It looks cosy too!
