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.

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. :(

A simple step-by-step guide on how to skin a chicken that included pictures of everything done. A very helpful article!
A simple article on bantam growth stages with a few facts about them. I disagree with putting perches in with chicks though, especially if people are planning on breeding them. They should not be allowed to perch until after nine weeks of age as it can effect them negatively, which is noticeable by poultry judges. Also, pure Silkies only have one size, which is neither bantam or standard, but an in between class that most refer to as bantam. Anything outside of that is either a mixed breed or a Chinese import.
I enjoyed the list at the end of the article and would love to see your opinions on the breeds you've kept!

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
