This looks great. I love the progress pictures and the finished product. A few details/plans would be helpful.

I like this a lot. You put some thought into it and your plan, as well as pictures are helpful. I would definitely invest in hardware cloth. I would need to add more windows too.

I really love this hoop coop. So much detail! I especially like that door.
My only change would be to completely cover it with hardware cloth before adding the tarp. I'd be afraid something would chew through the tarp. I'm paranoid like that.

Really beautiful job. I couldn't use it here, there isn't enough ventilation and my birds would melt. I'd would replace all wire with hardware cloth, even though you used hotwire.
I'd also be afraid something would break through the polycarbonate roof.
But I have to say it is very imaginative and a great use of an old swing frame!

It looks beautiful, but there are no instructions or material lists. More pictures might be helpful too.

Pictures please! It sounds somewhat easy, but most of us need to see step by step instructions.

I love your bird tending philosophy. The photos are great, but you need more detail concerning the build itself.

I agree with the others, you need to add some detail about your build. However, it looks very nice.

Very nice job

I'm sure, by now, that your wonderful hubby is hooked on chicks too.

Thus article was well written, Interesting, and educational.

This very informative article clears up a popular misconception.

Beautiful brooder! I love the simple, easy to duplicate design.

Thank you for a well illustrated MHP set up.

Great article. I've bookmarked it to send to relatives, who are getting their first chicks soon. Thank you Aart for a well illustrated MHP setup.

5 stars! This will be a great resource for beginners looking for easy coop builds.
The pictures are great. They are tempting me to beg my dh out of the unused cattle panels in our storage building.

I cannot wait to read your book! Start writing now! I'm sending this to friends and family because it is hilarious (all be it true!) and I know even those without chickens will enjoy the humor.

I love that links are included! All valid reasons for keeping chickens.

5 stars for humor!

Great job and wonderful use of space! If you haven't already, you should replace the chicken wire with hardware cloth.

I don't think I have any chickens!!! I'd better get some.
