This is an encyclopedia article for anyone wanting to learn to understand their rooster! Completely thorough on every aspect.

I was particularly interested in the section on tribeless roosters. We breed silkies here, and can't use all of the roosters, so the rest, around a dozen, all free range. There are no hens free-ranging, they're in breeding pens.

I save these roosters because I may use them as they're beautiful or of the color I want to use down the road. They free range until then. They do get along for the most part, although today I noticed one breeding another one, and the "victim" took it like a hen. That was odd.

They do have a spat now and then, but they normally roam peacefully around the yard and it's quite pretty to see.
Very nice remodel and cute coop!

No instructions for how you did this nor materials used. These would help others to do similar. Need more pictures too, especially at least one or two of the inside.

Looks like this was going to be a wonderful coop! Not finished and no instructions nor materials list or measurements.

Great job with explaining how to build this, and a lot of good pictures to go along. I love the changes made to the run as that looks so much better!

Looks like the start to a great coop but never finished showing how it was built. An update would have helped.

Very unique, especially with the glass front on it! That must be nasty to try keep clean though.

Not really much for explanation on how to build this should anyone wish to.

Very nice-looking and it sure looks sturdy! A few more instructions for how to build it as well as a materials list would have been helpful.

This seems like more of an ad than an article about how to build a coop. No instructions, materials list, blueprint, or step-by-step photos for how someone would build this. It is very pretty though.

Great explanations of what causes "dud" eggs to not develop or hatch.

I'd put some paragraphs in the first part to make this easier to read and flow better. There is some text overlap in the blue and black words half way through. Great job though and thorough!

It's not much of an "article," per se, but you've shared very interesting material.

It's great for anyone wanting to figure it out ahead of time or even to know if their chickens aren't eating enough feed, meaning getting too many "treats."

Excellent explanation of the bonuses for having a walk-in coop if anyone was pondering buying or building one!

Great pictures and drawing too!

It's a beautiful coop, but nothing tells us how you built it or what you used to build it.

Great coop with a super story and good explanation of how you built it. Some of the picture links are broken. I love the artwork!

You have a good idea here, but maybe paint those storage crates white or some light color. The chickens are going to bake in there.

Great explanation how you took old stuff and made it into something! I'd love to see another picture in the spring when you spruce it up!

I too cringe about the electrical set up inside of a plastic bag. Hunt around for an electrician friend of a friend to help you wire it up properly.
Good reference for anyone into breeding for particular colors or wanting to know what theirs is. I would have like to have seen a few pictures of different colored quail for examples of some of the more difficult to know colors.
Ingenious! Very cool idea! Great pictures of step-by-step how to do it. Nice!
