There are some spelling and grammar issues with this article, and I would definitely recommend adding a warning about where/how you use these techniques. Adding these types of product to pools of standing water where pets and other wildlife can get into them could be dangerous or fatal.

Got it! Thank you😁
This is useful info, but it could use a bit more organization and formatting. All the line breaks in it make it a bit of a struggle to read.

Excellent article, but the only way I'm letting chickens near my shrimp is if they're on the same plate. :p

As has been mentioned, photos would help as would a bit of organization and some links to supporting articles. BYC members like to read research too, so please don't be afraid to link to USDA or other science in your conversation should you decide to gussy this one up.

Typically do not include photography in scientific research articles, just tables, data and facts studied and correlated over time. But i understand that photos are helpful to ppl who have never seen or dealt with certain conditions.

Here’s what Bumblefoot really is (always hated that name): chronic inflammation of plantar metatarsal and or digital pads of foot (pododermatitis). Once inflammation sets it, skin and immune system weakens thus allowing opportunistic bacteria inside open sores. It’s usually staph which once inside skin is hard to cure as it is a facultative type of bacteria and has become immune to a variety of antibiotics. That’s what salt solutions (epsom, table salt, magnesium salts) work well to cleanse foot pads and loosen granuloma. Chlorhexidine wash, tea tree oils and Manuka honey work to treat because staph cannot become immune to those treatments.

As a researcher saw it heavily in commercial broiler flocks due to their selective/genetic breeding for obesity in breast tissue, and thus predisposition for hip dysplasia and general foot pad inflammation from unsanitary, crowded housing. Saw way too many birds euthanized or left untreated, because that was cheaper option. So, check your flock regularly if you’ve got heavy breeds, or wet run conditions. Prevention is always best, but understanding how to recognize symptoms helps too. Take care.
Helpful into to quail egg candilng.

Nice little write-up with pics outlining an expansion that a lot of folks go through early in their chicken tending life.

For me this article is decent, but when I look at it as a "howto for a new member", it leaves a few things out. Having a list of materials, plans, and a more detailed summary IN the article vs having to sift through what is currently a 14 page thread about the build process would make it a lot more user-friendly for folks looking for ideas. Collecting everything in one neat package would take this from a 3 star to a 5 star article in my view.

UPDATE:
After looking over the additional pages I missed yesterday, changing from 3 to 5 stars. Well done OP.

While there is no materials list yet, it sounds like you may not have seen the additional pages on the article labeled "Foundation, Footer, Framing, Sheathing, Roofing, Siding, Doors, and Electrical and Predator proofing" which summarize the build thread/process that I undertook to the best of my ability.
