Great article and impressive build for the author. I liked how the Chicken Coops for Dummies book was used as a guide in building this coop and how the author shared some feedback on the book itself.
Would love to see an update on how the run came out!

Nice coop for being thrown together quickly. Great use of reusing materials as well. Using the cedar is a little concerning to the chickens' health though.

Very helpful article! All the points were informative and the update on the last point was essentially helpful. Some breeds are known to be rooster aggressive (like the Games and other historical cockfighting breeds), so the update was very beneficial.

Cute coop and it looks like the chickens are happy with it. Article needs more details and could use a list of pricing.

A highly informational article on Silkies! I particularly liked reading the history on the Silkie's breed. This article was well written and simple to read.

Interesting idea, though I would have like to seen a real-life picture of how this works. I feel like outside predators would still be a risk by grabbing the feed through the gaps (raccoons, mice, etc). Also, I'd be concerned of rain ruining the grain as well. More details would be helpful as well.

This article is very informational on sewing up a wound. A definite must read if one ever needs to suture a wound. The directions were very simple and easy to follow, and the pictures added a lot by showing how it should be done and what it should look like.

Interesting coop build with plenty of pictures showing the process. I absolutely love the hole in the floor design for the waterer! Water getting the shavings wet has always been a problem for me.

Article included a great list of materials used and the builds measurements. Adding details on how it was actually built might help others who are interested in building this.

A very helpful list of plants that chickens won't eat. Great pictures as well (which also double to identify some of these plants for those who have them but didn't plant them).

Great idea and it looks like it works well! It does appear like it'd be easy for birds to be wastful with, but outside of that, it looks very convenient.
