We didn't get to see the inside or much information about how it was built. The run area is way too small too but sounded like there was another one coming?

Some explanation of how you built this along with some measurements or a blueprint would be helpful.

Great documentation of the build with pictures. Would be helpful to have explanations along the way with what was being done. Nice job though! I like it!

This is one of the better brooders I've seen. I just wish there were some instructions on how to build it, or, since everyone may want to use wood scraps, at least a blueprint. It looks great though!

Excellent materials list. This article needs paragraphs, though, and pictures with explanations/details for each step to build this. It looks great though!

This looks so thought out yet complicated for a normal person. I think if you broke it down more what you did, and add a wiring diagram, that would help a lot. I'm wondering though why not just a gravity feed so they'll always have feed available?
Love the ideas and the links too! Very inspiring as well! The treat with unflavored gelatin was a surprise I never thought of, but going to do that for sure, among a couple of others. Thank you!

I am very familiar with coccidiosis and found your article about it very easy to read with great pictures and has all the reader needs to know about it.

The only thing I would add is after the dosage of Corid is through, the chicks/chickens should be given vitamins whether by water or additives to feed, specifically one that has Thiamine (B1 in it) to rapidly replenish the loss the Corid caused.

Excellent article! Nice job!

What an awesome coop with a wonderful story along the way to boot. Lots of beautiful and helpful pictures with explanations.

I love the advice given toward the end too. Very thoughtful! This is definitely buildable if anyone would like to!

Very cute idea but it's lost on how you built this. A few more pictures and showing us the inside, plus some details of the process would be helpful.

It looks pretty cool but needs some more instructions, measurements, and explanations. I don't see how your chickens get from the first floor to the second.

I never saw a cuter prebuilt coop. Nice job!
Very crucial information!

We use 1/2" hardware cloth here for years and nothing has even tried. We live bordering a forest so it's important to safeguard our chickens. Anyone having predator issues, this article will help you!

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.
