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!

Nice walk around of the coop with lots of pictures. Details on the building process would be helpful for those looking to copy the design.

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.

The coop looked like it was coming along nicely! How did it come out? That winch idea for the door was interesting.

Very helpful article with some interesting ideas that I'd like to try! This week has been brutally hot for my birds and a few ice cubes in their waterer just isn't cutting it. I love the idea of the frozen water bottles!

Pretty coop and great way to repurpose a rabbit hutch! Even though the author wasn't able to get down all the steps (which they disclaimed), they still were able to show enough of what they did for it to be followed by others.

Very nice coop article and well detailed. Good pictures on the process and clear write-up as the coop progressed.

On the coop itself, I'd be a little concerned on how much of it is opened up on the front. I feel like if it was raining and the wind was blowing (like we have here in Maine) the whole inside of the coop would get wet.

Good point, I should have mentioned that we live in California so we don't have to worry much about rain. I do plan to install covers on the rare occasion it becomes necessary.

Not a lot of information on what this is or how exactly to treat it. It did say it was from maggots and what they did to stop the flies, but the article would be more helpful if it focused on what exactly Botulism is, the symptoms, and treatment plan.

Nice article on what a rooster should be with some helpful points. The grammar issues made it a little difficult to read, but otherwise nice article.

Beautiful coop! I would love to see pictures of the process and more details on how it was built. One downside of this coop, is it's not always safe to have a coop next to a house like that. Should either the coop or your house catch on fire, you'd risk losing both.
