Very neat idea and it looks like it was a simple build!

A very helpful list of plants to make your yard beautiful without the worry of your chickens eating the plants! I already keep some of these around so it's nice to know that I don't have to worry so much about the chickens free ranging around them.
A lot of the links on the bottom didn't work.

my spoiled chickens
I dont show my bantams but thanks for the info! I dont know that silkies are only one size because my silkies are bigger than my silkie bantams even though the "Largefowl" silkies still arent that big

Hey Lacy, since writing that article I have raised 5 more flocks of meat birds. One flock were the Big Red Roasters (which we did not like) and the rest were Jumbo Cornish X. 
Let me just add by saying, it really matters where you buy your birds. Absolutely important. Our first flock of Cornish X were from Meyer Hatchery. They were straight run and it was winter here. I’m sure the mortality rate was a lack of knowledge. We live and we learn. Hopefully we do. After that, we have ordered from Murray McMurray since we’ve had better luck with them. However, my oldest bird and favorite chicken, Penny, came from Meyer. So it’s just a matter of preference where you get your birds from.
Our last 2 flocks (30 Jumbo Cornish X) were raised for Cornish Game Hens. We fed them 12 on 12 off with no loss of birds; we cull them at 3.5 to 4 lbs (4-5 weeks) and have beautiful Cornish Game Hens dressing out at 2.5 to 3 lbs. which is perfect for us. For full size 5-7 lb broilers we raise them another 3 weeks or so. The taste is divine not to mention they are the sweetest birds on the planet. Just a pleasure to spend time with, which makes it super hard to cull them.

It appears like this article is unfinished. The coop was looking well, and I would have liked to see how it turned out.
