These are all excellent tips - and the Flock Block recipe is top notch. A note on maintaining ventilation would move this article's rating to "Excellent." Most chicken-keepers already know about the ammonia and mold/mildew issues caused by inadequate ventilation, but not all realize the increased danger of frostbite.
Other than that note, this really is an excellent article ... and the pictures are great!

Thank you for reviewing my article. You brought up a great point in your comment. I will add to my article the necessity of ventilation and the dangers of frost bite.

At first glance, this article doesn't look like much and you'll be tempted to pass it by without looking deeper. DON'T! The links here are more than worth pursuing. Spend a bit of time looking throught them. Your birds ... and your wallet ... will thank you for it!

This is a great little coop - and encourages those of us with odd spaces and no precision planning skills to go ahead and try it, anyway ... and I'd LOVE to hear the rabbit story!

MROO... the rabbit story was just another example of "chicken math" ... you start with one & then things get out of hand. The rabbits were more socially acceptable than chickens (at the time) so we ended up with one buck and 2 or 3 females. Before you know it, we were "multiplying" and there was no trouble finding homes for them. The kids LOVED having hand-tamed babies. So chickens were like our "gateway drug" which eventually led to rabbits, quail & homing pigeons. LOL ... But I'm more or less cured now. ;)

Thanks for stopping by!
This is my kinda DIY! Easy, inexpensive and not too far away to haul the bedding. Now if we could only just make it easier to haul away the compost ...

This is great! The Egg Song described in layman's terms (yuo, that's bad pun!) But the best part of the article is the audio-visual. VERY nicely done!

Thanks you very much for the kinds words. I am glad you liked it.
A great short list of common mistakes made when first starting out. This should be read BEFORE bringing home your birds.

Their safety, but our responsibility ... that about sums it up, doesn't it? You may want to delete the duplicate pictures ... although I really like the one with the turkey. Oh, if our birds could only talk, I'll bet that one would have a great caption!

This looks great! The conversion for the second coop is amazing! Can you add some details on how you went from woodshed to that great little coop and run? Some notes on how the roof turbo works for you on a small building would be helpful, too. I've been leery of adding one to my playhouse coop, for fear that there wasn't enough air movement to make it work.

Thanks, I’m pretty happy with how it turned out although most of the inside is temporary. Both of the coops are essentially laid out the same with a ramp leading up to a platform with the roosts and boxes. My old coop the platform is enclosed and is vented under the roof overhang. On the shed coop since there was no roof overhang and no good place to vent it I didn’t enclose the platform. I’m planning on adding external nest boxes also to add floor space for a bigger roost but it works for now. If there’s anything in particular you want pictures of for ideas I’d be happy to help.

This is a really nice little set-up and it presents well. If you could add some details about what you did and how, it would really help. Most people don't realize that, even with limited skills and time, a playhouse conversion can be cheaper and more solid (not to mention bigger and cooler!) than the flimsy prefab coops offered by most retailers.

This is a really neat coop! Could you possibly add some how-to or pros/cons for us? It would make it much easier for others to duplicate your efforts.

This is amazing! This is one of the best cold-winter coops I've seen. The article is clear and the pictures are not only helpful, but beautiful. The follow-up comments and videos are great additions. And please, give that awesome little dog an extra hug and biscuit for me!
VERY Nicely Done!

This is the best article I've seen for city and suburban chicken keepers ... and it wouldn't hurt the rest of us to go over it, either!

No real text, but it's not really necessary ... the picture says it all. Actually, I'm not sure whether to laugh or applaud! This looks like something that would happen at my house!

I can't wait to see more on this playhouse conversion. My coop is an old playhouse, as well, so I'm curious to see what improvements were made. I'm trying to find the motivation to begin upgrading my basic box, too!

This story is nothing less than wonderful ... and the pictures are great, as well! Thank you for sharing this adventure in hatching with us!
This was interesting. It's really more of a tour and review than an article, but it does give a good idea of what went into this particular set-up and how it's working out. After watching this video, I'll be looking into the Royal Rooster Silos.
