Needs more pictures of the process and details on what was done. Article did include some measurements and what the author would have done differently. Cute coops.

Educational article! It's quite interesting the history of chickens and this article captured a lot of that. Well-written and good photos, plus the author included links for further study.

Great pictures of the process. Adding a write-up of what's being done in each of the pictures would benefit this article.

Very informative article. I used to keep guinea fowl with all the birds listed here, as well as geese. One of the things I noticed with mine is they helped keep the peace between my diverse flocks and would alert us if somebody wasn't getting along.

Interesting idea, but the article needs more details like space between the cardboard walls for average chicks of this variety (quail, standard chicken chick, bantam, etc.) and how to build\design it. Even including a success story of a particular chick healing through this method with pictures of its progress would help this article. Also, details on how exactly it works and how it actually helps the chicks heal would be helpful.
Again, interesting idea. I'd love to know more on it.

Very detailed and informational article. The steps on quarantine were especially helpful.

I would like to add: If testing for Marek's, there should be more than one test on more than one chicken as false negatives can happen. On the exposed pullet, a second test done by another vet or company should be done to ensure that she didn't have a false negative.

Thank you for reviewing and for advising on re-testing Sarah. Not sure how I missed that detail in all the reading I did.
Helpful article with great pointers on keeping your chickens entertained!

Interesting article and well written. I've never done clickers, but I have taught my hens tricks with treats alone.

Some links added to the bottom of this article would be helpful to help others further their research on this topic.

Very nice coop. I love how the run is lit up like a dance hall. Article could benefit from details on how it was constructed and the process.
