There is a great deal of really good information in this article, but it's so long that it's hard to read through all of it without glazed eyes. It doesn't need to be shortened, or even reorganized, but some "bolded" subtitles or section headings (like those used in magazine articles) would help immensely! They would make reading and absorbing the information much easier, and would make it possible to relocate specific bits of information.
All in all, nicely done!

Ammonia Toxicity in Chickens

This article has some really good information, especially about the signs of ammonia overload in birds of different ages. Some of the information is wordy and difficult to interpret, so some simplification would be very helpful for most readers. The sentence about "anticipate evaporative moisture losses" is hard to decipher. It may have a simple typo (should it be anticipated?), but unless the reader already understands the concept, it's kinda hard to interpret properly.
Other than that, this is a really good article, and with the quickly approaching winter weather, a very timely one! Thanks!

This is an interesting topic, but it's rather a "tease." It desperately needs some more "story" and some pics!

There is a great deal of REALLY good information here. If I could figure out how to bookmark an article, this would be near the top of my list!
Lots of good cues and clues, even for mixed breeds. Thanks!

Thanks for sharing your experiences with prolapse. The pictures helped a lot. I've heard a lot of stories about prolapses - some positive and many horrible. This article is a great prep for what to look for, what to expect and how to handle it. Thank you.

There is a lot of good information here, but the sentence "shorthand" makes for a bumpy read. The choppy sentences make it hard to differentiate between pros, cons and helpful tips. A little editing would go a long way towards smoothing this out - and make it a good read for anyone considering a pre-fab coop kit.
THANK YOU a thousand times! This cuts down so much hunt-time, sorting through threads and articles. You've covered pretty much everything - and just in time for the Maryland winters ... which are, unfortunately, right around the corner. I want my flip-flops back!

Glad it helps! I'm in the denial stage still, personally -- I haven't put the flip-flops away yet! :P

This is a great way to start your search. It's an easy read. It's not a listing of breeds, just a list of the important characteristics you'll need to consider. You still get to do all the fun research on the many different breeds, this just makes it much easier to get started!

Thank you, make sure you didn’t miss the breed chart of the more common large fowl and bantam breeds in the attached zip file. You can download and read on your desk top. It’s in an excel file.

This is nearly mind-blowing. Who knew that the respiratory system is the secret of flight? If this is just the beginning of an "Under Construction" article, then please ... tell us more!

The write-ups are good, but the pictures are better. I would, however, like to see actual photographs of the Sebrights instead of a drawing. The Livestock Conservancy lists them as having low enough numbers to qualify for "Threatened" status. If they're the 10th most popular bantam breed, hopefully that will change. With that much popularity, there have got to be some good pictures somewhere!
Anybody?

I came across some really good pictures actually, but I couldn’t find a picture that had both colors of the birds in it, I wanted people to see both colors. Thank you for the review. ☺️

Love the warming recipes! Mine get the standard warmed oats, but I hadn't thought of "soup." They'll love it!

I've seen these advertised, but never in actual use. How about some pictures of your set-up? That, and a few notes about what works best for you and what you may have had to adjust would be a big help to others considering this unit.
