Very informative!

Find a different picture not from the web. Many members will be willing to share photos you need. As I mentioned in other reviews, links to references and more pictures are so helpful.

Let me know if you've edited it and I'll change my rating. You have a good article though!

I do see your treatments listed, but all articles are so much better with pictures and links. The links to reputable articles online or informative posts here on BYC can be either to back up what you're saying or to provide the reader further information if they want to explore more.

You have a very good article here but need to provide links to back up some of the things you're saying and to provide further information to the reader so they can go beyond your article if they so choose. For instance, heat lamps are far from the only way to warm a coop. You could list more of those, or put a link to a thread here or elsewhere on the different ways to heat a coop. Imagine if you're just getting chickens for the first time and reading this.

There are several areas that are great info but need pictures or links to improve them.

Also, that one picture you do have is from the web. Either use some of your own or ask members and most of us will willingly let you use our pictures.

It sure looks good, but little explanation of how you did it. A list of materials used is helpful too and a few more pictures so we can understand this layout.

What a great job you did, especially for someone who had no experience and no plans.

You may want to swap out the fence with hardware cloth if you have predators, and for in the cold especially need to have 1x2s, 2x4s, or whatever size boards you choose to be sideways.

It seems though you've made a very inexpensive functional coop and run. More instructions of how to build this and a materials list would be helpful.

It would have been nice to see more of the finished coop and brooders.

Also, 1/2" hardware cloth, while pricey, is way better at keeping predators out than chicken wire.

Very nice photos and looks great.

There's no explanation of how to build it and a materials list would be helpful too.

Good way to build a coop and run with using what you have or have access to. I don't believe this would work well with a lot of predation in the area. Hardware cloth is pricy, but keeps out varments.

Very nice brooder. Your list of what all is needed is good to know ahead of time too.

The pictures are good but they weren't able to be clicked on and enlarged as they're a little small. I like it though! Nice job!

Very neat idea! Good explanation and pictures.

Very neat idea for a feeder! We'd need to hear how you made it so we could replicate it if we wanted to.

Very ingenious and nice job! It would be so helpful as others stated if you'd include a wiring diagram and a little bit more explanation to go with the steps you made which helps others to build this.

I needed this article! I've not had ducks in decades, and have been contemplating getting some. I enjoyed reading and learning a little bit more about keeping them.

Excellent points made making for a case for how rewarding they can be!

Very cute little coop!

This needs some instructions and measurements so someone could build this if they like it.

Very nice and looks sturdy!

A blueprint or drawing, measurements, and a little more explanation would help someone to build this.

Not sure about this as there's barely any pictures and no explanation of how this was built.

Looks nice!

Could use some instructions of how it was built, and a materials list.

There isn't a coop here to see.

It looks like a very nice coop but it would be nice if there had been even a drawing of the coop with measurements and list of materials used. Needs a couple photos of the inside.

Very pretty and quaint too. Wish there would have been some explanation of how it was built though.
