Beautiful job! Great instructive pictures. I love that you added a deck. I do think the roof overhang should be a little farther out.

I love sunflowers 🌻 but I had no idea, how much I didn't know about them. Great information!

Adorable coop & run combo! I love the design, the pictures, and the fact that the author included a material list.
It's a 10 for security too!

Very good info, but I've never had a broody hen soil her nest. In fact, a good broody is probably the cleanest hen you're ever going to have.

The coop is beautiful, but I feel like it needs more ventilation. Your chicken girls are just gorgeous. I love the names. And, I love that you included them in your article.
Good information.

Excellent info.
I knew I had a hen with a lazy bum, but I didn't realize that I had a "chicken bidet" until now. 🤣

What a beautiful repurchased brooder! Like others, I believe a brooder plate or mama heating pad would be much better than a heat lamp. Otherwise, I'm impressed.

The pictures were helpful. It was written using pretty simple terms. I think bullet points with how and why, might have made for easier to follow instructions.
It would also be helpful to do a follow up. Anyone reading would like to know how the hatch turned out, and if further adjustments were needed.

Details? Size/deminsions? What materials did you buy/use? How much did you spend?
It looks really nice! We'd love to know more about it.

Great pictures. Tell us more.
Size/measurements? Cost?
FYI, I'd make an outside apron and get rid of the wire on the bottom, before a chicken injures their foot. I'd also cover the run with 1/2" hardware cloth. The large openings in the wire will allow snakes, weasels, rodents entrance.

You are obviously a retired engineer. I'd love to see pictures of your build if you've completed the coop.

The coop is beautiful. There aren't really any details though. To attach the run, I'd use a tunnel type structure.
