Nicely detailed article with lots of good pictures. Nice coop and run setup. I like the idea of the cable clamps on the cattle panels too. It looks a lot easier to deal with than all the staples I pulled out of my run.

Interesting quick waterer design. It looks like it would work well for a smaller flock or if one needed to separate a couple of hens. The water does look like it's spilling from the bowl in the picture, which wouldn't work in a coop, but a taller bowl would probably help.
As far as using a balloon for anything, you might want to add a disclaimer saying to ensure that the chickens can't access it in any way because it could be dangerous for them. Also, you want to make sure the latex isn't touching their water at all because I don't think that'd be safe or healthy for them. Besides all of that, cool idea on using a balloon to make something air tight.

Very unique coop. Interesting colors. The blueprint is helpful for those looking to copy the design and there's nice pictures of the process. I'm not so sure how a flat roof will do come winter, though. (I did see snow in one of the pictures.)

Nice coop and great pictures. I like the run set up a lot, and the drawn details at the end are helpful. Adding more details like measurements would be helpful for anyone looking to copy this design.

Interesting article and I liked reading the science behind chickens and affection. There is a little bit of redundancy in this article, but otherwise an educational read.

One thing though, with roosters, even if they're not fluffing up or showing signs of aggression, one should never put their hand near the rooster's front to see if the rooster will let them pet them. Even when not trying to pet a rooster, I've had roosters attack my hand that way. It's something coming toward them that is a threat and will be the most likely to be attacked before anything else.
If a rooster shows no signs of aggression, it's best to approach them from the side. That way, you're not viewed as a predator by coming from behind or as a threat by coming toward the rooster's front. By coming to the side he can see you and decide if you're safe or not. That also allows you time to see if he's going to attack by suddenly turning toward you, face on.
The article did warn to watch the rooster's behavior for aggression, but sometimes it's hard to tell until you're reaching for his chest and are immediately shown that it's too late. If the rooster has proven multiple times that he's fine with being petted, this may be fine, but then again, especially with young roosters, things can change.

Interesting twist and outlook on the basics of chicken behaviors. Enjoyable read!

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.

Nice walk around of the coop. Good pictures of the process too. I love the color, and the storage room is pretty neat.

Great pictures of the process. Could use some more details like measurements and design.

Beautiful coop, nice write-up, and good pictures of the process. I love the sliding door design!

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.

Well-written and informative article. I've never heard about this before, but after reading it, I can already picture some of my hens' spheres. Very good article that is easy to understand and read. Thank you for writing this!

Another well-written article with great pointers! It was simple to read and easy to understand, and the writing voice kept me entertained. All around a good article and informational.
