Interesting idea! I like the divided rooms. What are the materials that were used to make the dividers besides PVC? It looks like some kind of netting.

Cute coop idea and great pictures of the process. I'd love to know more about the construction itself such as measurements and cost.

Good tips on shade and the cool water. I've added ice cubes in my water before and it works good. I don't know about the sprinkler though. When chicken feathers are wet, they get heavy and will make the chickens hotter. It also makes it harder for them to regulate a steady body temperature. A sled filled with water works better as it allows them to cool off through their feet without getting their actual feathers wet.
Excellent pointers, and ideas for making your own chicken costumes! Nice pictures that add to the creative ideas.
I like the last pointer on comfort and care as well. I've done quite a few photo shoots with my chickens, some of which I dressed up my chickens, and it's always important to know if your chicken is comfortable and isn't becoming stressed.

Interesting idea. Nice write-up of how to build this. My concern would be the whole thing tipping over if the waterer got empty and too many chicks perched on the side. I think putting some weight on the bottom of the container would make it safer, as well as attaching the hard wire cloth top to it so that doesn't flip off either.

Well-written and well formatted article. It was simple and easy to read and the points very clear. Nice list of chicken breeds with good details on each one. I would have given this article a five star, but it appears that some of the images are broken.

Very informative article on handling older chickens for meat. It makes sense that the longer resting period would help. Very good pointers and well-written.

Quite a fascinating idea. It definitely looks like an easy way to transport those things. I might want to try this to transport other things as well.

Easy list of materials needed and clear details on how to design this. It also included some helpful pointers like weight limits.
