Very helpful list and description. Well done, and thank you!

Great detail and helpful photos and illustrations. Excellent explanations. I love that you include comments and fixes for the mistakes as you went along. I also like that you state at the beginning what level of expertise a builder would need. This is way above my pay grade, and I'm totally impressed.

A very nice list with helpful tips. My chickens have not cared for either comfrey or borage, I think because of their furriness. But maybe other hens like those. Mine have loved dandelions and all sorts of leafy greens. They are looking out each day to see if there is anything worth eating. A very timely article to highlight. thank you!

BDutch's comment about grass is very good, and I know chickens also love "weeds" such a chickweed. There are other articles listing more different plants in addition to this one, so check them out!

An interesting experiment, with good detail on the methodology. Thank you, Debbie292d for exploring this and sharing your results! I am very glad your Odoban treated eggs hatched so well. Bravo!

What a terrific job of recycling and re-purposing things! You are an inspiration. It's a fun article to read, and has so many helpful ideas. Thank you.

I appreciate the careful job you have done looking up scientific studies on all these various "natural" worming resources. Excellent and very helpful.

Thank you for an excellent article. I like the detail, with prices, and information on how to put this together. Kudos!

Very helpful detail, and the photos, especially of the brood patch and the nesting female wee very helpful. I would recommend some editing to improve the grammar issues, but otherwise, this is a very useful article.

Excellent detail and tips. Very helpfulto give an idea of how long the treatment should last, and to urge folks to treat it early. I liked that you included the important tips on how to prevent it. I liked that you gave 2 different methods of treating. The photos and illustrations are very helpful. Great article! Thank you.

I love you adorable dogs, but your ideas about how to introduce dogs to chickens (or other poultry) really need some rethinking. There is no second chance for bird grabbed up by a dog and given a hard shake. That's not the way I would like to have my life measured!

Article needs rethinking and lots more detail!

There is a much better article on the same subject with way more detail and more reliable tips here

Very helpful article, with well reasoned points to support their recommendation for using river sand. Lots of information. I appreciated their willingness to also include the potential downsides. I liked that they have apparently updated this at least once. The photos are helpful and support the text very well. thank you!

Very timely and wonderful detail. I didn't know I could just mist (gently spray) my chickens, and didn't know that I should avoid spraying their heads to avoid breathing problems. Very helpful and good tips! I enjoyed the photos, but I have to say they weren't particularly illustrative of the text in the article, just nice eye candy. I can't complain, but consider adding a photo of some of the tips you provide!

I love the name, I love the design and all the care and love you poured into it. I love that you keep updating it, and tell us about it. Nice details for your readers.

If you have a rooster, I hope you name him Heathcliff!

What a good article! You are very careful to present just the facts, but I think you make very strong cases here. Of course, you're preaching to the choir.

I have seen a mare whose foal was euthanized run in a frenzy up and down the field, calling, and calling for her child. I have seen crows march around a killed flock mate. And those same crows never forgave the foolish fox that killed the crow! They mobbed the fox wherever it went and spoiled its hunting and its life.

At the other extreme, I had parakeets, and when one of a pair passed away, it seemed to be no big deal as long as they had another parakeet to be with. If you're not with the one you love, love the one you're with. I guess people encompass both extremes, too, come to think of it!

Very helpful, practical tips, with details that make a difference. Thank you!
To those folks who are flummoxed by the author's "big whack" of organic material: he means a large amount of whatever kind of straw, wood chips, pine straw, leaves, or other organic material you are adding to lift the chickens up out of the mud. This is colloquial middle American English.

Excellent detail, between the very good photos and the video, this is perfect help for those of us who need to medicate birds. Thank you so much!

The photos are so helpful!

Excellent detail and coverage. Very helpful and empowering. I hope I don't need it, but if I do, I will feel (more) like I know how to treat the poor chicken. thank you so much!

Thank you! Very detailed and helpful.

Good detail. I appreciated the pictures and the information about feeding and behavior during molting. Thank you! The links are very useful too, because I was looking about my pullets molting at 12/13 weeks of age and you gave an article link that was spot on! I wasn't sure they were molting or if it was another problem.
