THANK YOU we needed this tonight and were so glad to have it.

Good job with this article. I don't know that I'll ever be in that situation - but if I ever am, I want to come back to this article, and I just know I'll end up sharing the link in some of the facebook groups I'm in, when someone else is. You're clear about it, and I can tell you really care about these chickens but you're also practical and sensible and doing the best thing for them. Thank you for being such a good person for them. I know now that you're someone to turn to with questions about these things.

So lovely to think of the happy lives your rescue chickens got to live out with you.

Well written, the sort of thing that makes me think maybe I could do something like this. Don't worry, I take a few deep breaths and know better. Nice article.

And I am totally going to steal the phrase "chickens...lawn ornaments, with benefits"

Good article, I like that it gives explanations in multiple ways - the skeletal diagram, the cartoon drawing, the linked video. Does a good job of explaining it well enough that I feel like I, as a newbie chicken tender, could use this.

This was very useful, and needed.

And also funny in places. CBOF = Cantankerous Bag of Feathers amused me greatly.

Thank you.

Good advice, clearly written

I feel like I learned a lot, and that this author really knows the topic.

I just learned a lot about muscovy ducks! That was interesting. I enjoyed the pictures and the videos. I don't know much about ducks, so I'm glad to learn more. I've seen/heard muscovy ducks mentioned before.

Very nice. Lots of good pictures. Did you build your own dutch doors? How's it working, do the chickens still sleep on the roosts with the nest box higher?

Good helpful article. Formatting erratic and distracting.

I enjoyed this article, and it gave me some ideas for things to do with my chicks.

I would have liked a link to "the purple stuff".

Thanks for writing it.

That was very interesting and informative, I'm going to share this with my teen (and co-chicken-keeper). Thank you!

I appreciate how thorough and detailed this article is, and I really appreciate all the photos illustrating it. This isn't something I've ever been around, but if it does come up I will return to this article - and I'll feel confident sharing this article to people who are in such situations. Thank you for writing it.

This is one of the articles I came across early on - and I loved it and I laughed and read bits to family members. I just dug it up again today, to share it with someone on the newcomer's forum. And once again found myself reading bits to my teenager, and encouraging her to make oatmeal for our chicks soon.

Useful practical article that was also entertaining to read. I'll come back to this one when I live somewhere I can have a rooster.

This is a great well written coop article. I'd like to see the bit about how many chickens it's designed for up top. The materials list and all the diagrams are great! And I enjoyed the time-lapse video of the construction, with the cheerful "you could do this!" music, and the wandering big blue ball.

I like the windows you added - wondering if those were built from scratch or premade. I paid to have a coop built for us, but I'm thinking it needs more windows and wondering how best to go about it.

The windbreak for snow looks useful for northern people.

I'm totally not a handyman type, and I think I made the best decision to pay coop builders - but this article almost makes me believe I could do it - and if I ever did my own, I'd want to work from an article like this.

I like it - good chart of yes treats, a chart of NO treats, and some great pictures.

I just want to know - WHAT is that one thing that the chicken is looking so askance at? Some sort of crab or something? Seafood anyway - and what kind? I guess it must be ok for a chicken to eat.

Good article and useful introduction. I'm going to use this next time one of the chicken FB groups I'm in has people looking for more basic info, so I can send them here.

This is a good article, that encouraged me to try this.

I would have liked more information on the pros and cons of DE - I've seen a lot of questions about using it on other threads. I am using PDZ on the poop boards, and am unsure whether adding that to the litter would do as well.

And extra points for naming your bantam coop the Teacup Pterodactyl Townhouse!

Thank you, this is a helpful article - I've just shared it in another group where I think that's what their bird has.
