You need to mention that per the State of CA, you need a license to breed these in captivity. Other states may have similar rules and folks need to check.

One of your images is also watermarked with the photographer's name. Is that you?

Good general info. The images really need to be larger though for your example photos. They're all pretty small.

(edit: After @Bertram enlarged the images I have added one star to my initial rating.)

Very informative and good photos.

Great coop. Could we get a 2023 update? Are you still using this coop? Have you made changes due to tings needing to be re-done or expansions?

How about a 2023 update on this article? Is this coop still in use? Have you needed to make any changes to it? An update with some pics and comments would help the community out when making choices for their own coops.

Quick, easy read full of info. Article is easy to parsley...

Great article. Lots of pics, a materials list, a ballpark cost, and an effective narration. Well done and a sturdy-looking finished product.

Interesting technique. It would be helpful to give a time frame for people to monitor the egg when they do this. Something like "if it hasn't moved in a minute it's probably not going to" or the like.

This is a great-looking converted coop. I list of materials used and a cost sheet would help others get an idea of what they might expect to pay to do a similar conversion on their own old outbuilding. If you have any kind of drawings of your run, that would also help!

Nice looking little shed coop. A materials list and costs would help others figure out if this is a build they'd consider taking on. If you have any kind of measured drawings that would also be helpful!

Good job on this.

This is a great article full of things I wish I'd known before we got our first girls. Would have saved some headache.

Another great discussion about another beneficial plant for chickens AND for humans.

Informative article discussing why now may be a great thyme to plant this herb for your flock.

Nice little introduction to colored layers. Well done.

I've never even heard of this before, so thanks for the write-up! Great article.

Great repurposing. This article could use a lot more detail, however.

This is a 2 star article. To make it a 5 star article, you could do an update to it and include more photos of the "current" state, as well as discuss your build process. Detail drawings and a supplies list would put it over the top, along with some updated photos.

Could we get an update on this coop (or on if there was a replacement)? A couple of photos and not a lot of info here. I realize it's an older article but let us know if you're still using it!

Will there be any update to this article? It's only really a stub and is not very useful, unfortunately.

This is a good start or outline for an article on starting out with chickens, but a "newbie" will need a lot more detail on all of these topics. If you could expand on each section and go into your reasons for the suggestions you make, along with the details of what to expect from each, it would be helpful. More photos would also be beneficial.


As a side note, I would never suggest to a beginner to start with 50 birds. That's a major commitment that can easily overwhelm a beginner. 10 at most until you get a feel for what you're doing, then you can expand up from there.

Also, local laws may limit the number of birds per acre, and they vary, so you may want to note that in your article.
