The Egg song, it’s not about the egg; it’s an escort call.

What a neat concept and well thought out plan. I'll definitely be watching ... and listening to ... my hens a little more closely for a bit. I love this whole idea!

Very good article here - Lots of details in the plans, the tool and supply lists, even the "what to do differently" list. A lot of thought was put into both the coop plans and the article, and it shows. Thank you for an excellent guide.

This is a nice, basic coop. There's room to stand and work and plenty of room for Chicken Math to do it's job. The rain barrel is a good idea. Some info on how it was done would be helpful to others who would like to try it. The only reservation I would have is about predator proofing. It looks like the run started out as just chicken wire (smart move, adding the heavier fencing.) If chicken wire is what is buried underground as a safety apron, it will need to be replaced asap. Chicken wire is designed to keep chickens in. It does NOT keep predators out - the openings expand easily with a little paw pressure. The other big drawback of chicken wire is that most of it rusts, especially when in direct contact with the ground.
All in all, this is a good project - especially for a first coop build. Nicely done!

This is a great looking coop. The architectural window is a really classy touch - I love it! Some interior views and some text /pics on the building process would be a real bonus.

This is a great article for demystifying the genetic code of ducks. The only suggestion I would make is , under the "Putting it All Together" heading, putting the individual allele codes in after each phrase in the description would help novices (like myself!) to sort things out. Just the first couple, then make us work for it!
With an article like this one, I just may end up understanding genetics, eventually!

Thanks for the suggestion :) I implemented it.

What a wonderful article! It's got all of the "wheres and why-fors" you need and some detailed descriptions on the types and temperaments available from specific hatcheries. The numerous descriptions of individual birds is not just helpful. They make the entire article a warm, pleasant read!

This is a really well designed coop and a very well written account of the build. The pictures are great and the step by step instructions a real help. This is a great inspiration for those of us who are intimidated by a big project. Anything you need (even hints on getting discounts) is in here. VERY nicely done!

What beautiful birds - and the photography is great, as well. Here is solid proof that bachelor flocks do indeed work!
Thanks for the update! I love Finny!

This article made me go on a persimmon hunt. They're hard to find! Maybe instead of cutting down extra trees, our author should offer them for sale!

Really good article - and the link to the plans is a nice bonus. There was obviously a great deal of thought put into this build, and it shows. LOVE the long roost along the very top!
This was an interesting read. I'll be trying the citrus peel vinegar cleaning fluid. It's similar to one my SIL uses to clean her home - and it smells amazing!

Good article - great pictures of both before and after ... and I finally have perspective to an age-old insult that was flung at nearly every Jr High kid I knew, growing up. Edgar proves, once and for all, that "Chicken Lips" are BEAUTIFUL!

Once you find the rest of your pics, this will be an awesome article! Please add some how-to instructions, especially on the tree-limb fence. That's beautiful - and a very cool concept!

This is a nice way to adapt a ready-made or kit coop. The enclosure is big, looks sturdy ... and even has toys!
