Very little details. It looks like an interesting idea, but I would like to know what was done.

Simple article for beginners with interesting insights. Adding a picture (or two ;) ) and fixing some of the grammar mistakes would better the reader's experience.
On the rooster piece, it should be noted that not all rooster breeds should be kept together, such as the Old English Game breeds, as they will fight to the death, no matter the circumstance (I'm saying this from my own experience raising them). Also, roosters do better together in bachelor flocks than with hens (unless you have more than enough), as they will fight for their amount (this is also from my own existence with different breeds).
Besides that, great article. The key points were enjoyable to read and helpful to anyone who is new to chickens. :thumbsup

Thanks for your input👍 I mainly went off of what I've learned the past six years of owning chickens.

Neat idea, but appears unsafe for chickens. Looking in the picture, it appears the griddle is sticking out enough for chickens to stand on and possibly burn their feet.

"appears unsafe for chickens"
Ah, appearances aren't everything - that's perception.
Of course you cannot tell from the images posted that the griddle is not energized in the photo. Nor can you discern the temperature setting of the griddle control.
We are not cooking the water. The griddle is set to its lowest 'warming' setting such that, when the temperature drops below 40 degrees or so, the griddle begins cycling on and off attempting to maintain a 'warm' surface - in spite of the 'below 40' ambient temperature. (Last nite, ostensibly down to 20 degrees F if the forecast was spot on).
Over time, the intermittent heat source warms the SS pan, the wooden supports, the plastic bucket and the 3-5 gallons of water therein creating a bit of a thermal mass inside the sealed bucket.
I suspect, indeed venture to guess, that the temperature of the griddle' center seldom reaches eighty degrees and the exposed peripheral edges seldom reach two thirds of that.
I suspect a hen, were it disinclined to fly up on one of the perches, might safely rest her head on the griddle's edge all night long without injury or discomfort.
As we have learned, chickens share much of their structure with dinosaurs and the like from some fifty million years before the griddle came to be. Does the expression 'tough old birds' ring a bell?

Nice pictures of the progress. Article lacks details like measurements and how the coop was built, along with materials used. The video links don't work.

A picture would be helpful for identification and including growth zones would be helpful for those considering planting in different climates. Interesting article!

A simple article explaining molting with chickens. It was very helpful and basic, and is a great article for beginners.
Great article on the basics of caring for ducks in the winter. The article was well constructed, being simple and easy to read, as well as being informative for beginners. Adding an image or two would help this article better pop out.
All the links are broken and only take me back to this article and not to where their titles say they're supposed to go.

Very beautiful coop and great use of recycled materials! I'd love to know how it was built! There's no details on the construction or any pictures of the process, both of which I would've loved to had seen.

Very simple article with nice pictures. I like the idea of using ashes for dust baths.
