Great insight and knowledge here for anyone considering raising guineas alongside their other poultry! Very informative!

We'll probably never get guineas here as the farm across the road has them, and that's enough.

It's unique.

There are simpler things to do that would be much less work. If this works for you, and people hate the other methods, then I suppose it could be usable by others.

I say this as one who has vet wrapped, rubber banded, used tubes and chick chairs, etc., at least a couple of dozen times and never lost one. I hope your maze works out well for you; it's a neat idea.

Some great ideas for fun things to do for them. Some are quite entertaining!

Links to other great ideas/articles too!

Not a coop build, but a purchase. Still, a very nice little coop and good pictures!

This is very nice and ingenious repurposing!

Your run needed to be 15 square feet per bird, so saying you were sticking by 3 hens, you'd have needed it to be 45 square feet. I'd bet by now you've done that!

Love all the pictures!

Beautiful coop and run. Lots of build instructions, tons of helpful photos, and a comprehensive materials list. If anyone liked this coop, they could likely build it from this article.

Adorable.

What's the inside look like? More pictures would help as well as information about how you built it, and what lumber/supplies did you use aka materials list.

Excellent article for anyone wanting to build a very sturdy hoop coop. The author included step-by-step instructions, blueprints, materials lists, etc., to help anyone build this.

Love how this coop was made out of part of a shed, but there's no instructions on how you built it.

Beautiful coop! Great pictures and lots of help with step-by-step instructions. A lot of neat forethought in some of the explanations of how and why certain things were done a certain way that can be considered by someone building this. Nice job!

(Changed review after improvements were made to the article.)

Great coop article! Love the pictures, explanations, instructions, and all of the extra information and justification for why you did what you did. It'll be easy for someone else to build one too. Nice job!

I'm not sure what this is. Pictures to go with the instructions would be very helpful!

This isn't built yet.

This looks like a good DIY idea with certain modifications made to it. Having zero hatch is one thing but then no second hatch to show this works would have helped. I'm sure it could be made to be successful.

Super ideas! I love the clay bricks one as I've never heard of it, and we've got some here, and a clean oil pan that should work. Great pictures too!

Great article. Love the links! Lots of good ideas!

I wrote a note about horse bedding pellets below as another option I think could be added.

Wow, didn't even realize this article was here but what a great read! Even though we're in the U.S., I loved your list of plants/bushes, and I happen to have some honeysuckle bushes waiting to be planted. I'll reread this again when I have more time and copying down some of the tips and that list. We border a forest, so we could do way better than hostas! Thanks for the educational article! Great pictures too!

A difficult topic but well covered. Great links too. Will be helpful for anyone having a rough time with having to end the life or deal with the death of a beloved chicken.

Great idea! It would help us out if you had a step by step of how you did this. Some of us would get all the parts and just shrug at what's the first thing to do.

Great reminder plus, thorough checklist!

Loved the helpful links too!
