I'm sure it's very nice but we can't see into it. This article would be much better if you'd show some pictures of how you built it, plus how it looks finished.

I never knew, nor would have though of it. Great idea! You could list the nutritional value of say an ounce of fish too just so we'd all know how good it is for them.

I like this article. It could be improved though by adding a few paragraphs and a couple of more pictures. Also, you could go into housing of chickens, diapers or not, etc.

This is a great article about more natural forms of calcium they can get in some other foods, and who knew chia? I use a small amount when fermenting grains for all the probiotics but didn't realize calcium.

I think you should also include oyster shell though as it's easy and simpler for some and is also a way to provide calcium to our chickens. It is all natural too, though some don't realize that.

I love the explanations and visuals of what mite are and what they do to our poultry, and how to treat them. I've never had them albeit the SLMs as we too believe in prevention so use Food Grade DE for years, even in the parrot cages for fruit flies and pantry moths.

Excellent and so informative!!

I liked learning a little about how to go about this as I have a few here and there and would like to be more organized about it. I would like to know a little bit more about the "popular" herbs such as which ones are perennials vs. annuals as the planting of them may differ and which ones need to be locked away from chickens.

Wow, I never knew! They grow wild in our ditches and fields but we have none so going to see about transplanting some here. Good to know the benefits of such a pretty flower!

This really is bad advice as someone starting out could read this and think they could get by with what you suggest, three grains. Perhaps you supplement and add other things, but it doesn't appear so by this article. This is not a nutritious way to feed chickens.

So thorough and interesting to read. We have grapevines that the chickens have access to so guess we probably shouldn't allow them to overindulge as they most likely do when they're ripe. Thank you!

Nice materials list and final product, but would have been nice to show about a dozen photos or so of you building it. A picture is worth a thousand words!

Pretty good, but there are typos in it that should be corrected. Message me if you don't see them. It's nice to see an article about keeping roosters!
