A lot of thoughtfulness went into this build. Neat ideas as well. I like the build for the roosts too. Very nice! Good job!

I would fear the rabbit/dog wire though won't be enough and should probably be 1/2" hardware cloth.

First, you take some amazing pictures! ❤️
2nd, I agree, the pictures outweigh the missing information on how to build this. I didn't realize they made those nice coops!
Very nice coop and run!

Instructions for how this was accomplished and built would be so helpful.

Nice sturdy coop. Cute picture too.

No instructions for how we would build this though.

Nice, but no way for anyone to build this without instructions.

I thought maybe the video would have the how-to build this, but no. Cute video though.

This was a fun read to see how you built this. A little bit more detail such as the length of boards cut, square footage of the coop, etc., would be helpful.

You built this coop in a unique way by taking the ideas from other coops and making it your own. Nice job!

I didn't like seeing the chicken wire though and would hope by now you've changed that to 1/2" hardware cloth.

I love your coop and run, but there's no way for any of us to build it without instructions on how you built it.

Great article explaining how to get into the selling of eggs!
Under heat lamps, I would have liked to have seen ceramic bulbs listed.

Otherwise, if I was a beginner, I too would want to see pictures of these products. Very informational though!

Very informative especially for someone like me who raises chickens and thought about perhaps getting a few turkeys.

I realize this was about the benefits of raising them, but I think it could have gone a little bit into the basics of their care. Maybe just a paragraph on what they should be fed.

Wow, I never knew about bamboo. Not that we could raise it but might check into it anyway. Great coverage of the pros and cons of feeding it to our chickens.

This is good information for someone wanting a healthy way to feed herbs/spices to their chickens.

I do make oatmeal as a treat once in a while in the winter.

I did see several typos. If you'd like me to tell you which ones, just send a message. ❤️

Good article giving information on a variety of choices for keeping the coop as warm as possible through winter.

Humidity in the winter is a huge problem for some and it can lead to frostbite right in the coop. We use horse bedding pellets and I didn't see those mentioned. 100% compressed pine keeps the coop very dry and it insulates the floor.

Very informative! I don't show my birds but will share when I see someone who is asking for advice.

You mention cutting/trimming the beak and toenails. It would be helpful to have a little more information on each or a link to someone else's article or even on the web that discusses how to do each.
