Very nicely done! Adding a supplies + cost list would have been nice, but overall I think it’s beautiful!

Nice pictures!

I would have enjoyed more details on the build. Additionally, it looks to be kn the small side for the amount of hens.

Seems like a very good coop! I would have appreciated more build details/pictures though.

I really like this! Many pictures, good design, and plenty of ventilation. However, as others have stated, adding a bit more to the build details, and addressing the climate would be helpful.

Looks like it was updated, and much improved. I like the detail, however I would also enjoy seeing more pictures of the build.

I love the detail and build pictures! Excellent article.
The one thing I’m curious about is the ladder style roost. Do they poop on each other?

Looks good! Can’t wait to see the updates/finished project.

I feel the article could use more pictures and more writing explaining. I see there is a second page, so it seems like it’s a work in progress.

Idea is good, but this article needs MUCH more detail. Plus, not everyone is able to accomplish this, because of predators, neighbors, and many other things.

Very helpful. I tried to follow the directions, unfortunately the chick didn’t make it, but I just don’t think that one would have been able to.

Loved reading this. I should probably add a little more ventilation. I would right now, but it’s 10pm and I don’t think the chickens would approve.

Good article with many ideas! I’m planning to try the apple trick tomorrow.

Loved reading this! Very informative with pictures!

I don't usually leave low ratings, but this seems unnecessarily cruel. While I get that there are good intentions, raising just one quail (or for that matter, any poultry type) is cruel. Also disposing of other eggs that are developing seems really, really inhumane, as you brought them into the world, then crush their lives, purposefully.

I'm assuming you weren't wanting the article to come across as that way, but it cruel.

Wow! Incredible article. I'm having a broody hen hatch chicks, and this article was incredibly informative! Thanks!

Loved reading this, a lot of things I wish I had done were on here. Especially (a) getting a good coop at the beginning/having one too small and (b) emergency first aid kit. I remember when Ponyo, my sisters Rhode Island Red, got really sick (she unfortunately passed) and the people on here were amazing and super helpful, but I didn't have the supplies on hand, including Nutri-Drench, aquarium tubing (for tube feeding her) and tons of other things. Had lots of good information, I liked the links attached, and the article was engaging.

Beautiful coop! How many chickens do you have?

Interesting, but I think pictures would be helpful, also it seemed to end abruptly. But otherwise I think its a great start!

I loved reading all about this!

Thank you so much! I finally decided to read this, and wow! There’s a lot I didn’t know! I was tricked when I first got a chick, being told it was an Ameraucana (that’s how you spell it, right?) and now am sad that it’s truly an EE (though Yuki is still an amazing chicken)

I’ve know partially how to tell the difference, and it always bothers me when someone makes a mistake (even though it’s usually an honest mistake)

Also, I like to joke about Ameraucanas and Buff Orpingtons, but if that bothers you I can stop.

Anyway, thanks for writing this!
