Wow! This is a wonderful set-up! It's designed to handle both extremes of weather - desert heat to winter nights. With a few minor adaptations, it could be made to handle snow, as well. The entire set-up is well-documented, as well, with great pictures of the original build and the year-in adjustments. VERY nicely done, both the coop/run and the article. Thank you!

This is a well thought out, well planned and well orchestrated video. The tips are clear and well ordered ... and what else can I say except that I WANT this COOP!
Nicely done! Now, howzabout another article on how you built that awesome coop? Pleeeeease?!

Welcome! And what a nice Intro! Your family, your entire family, regardless of how many legs or type of body coverings they sport ... is beautiful!

This is one of the best First Aid Kit summaries I've seen. The photos of active ingredients are a great touch, as brand names vary across The Pond ... or even across the State!

This follows a prefab coop from its' original build through multiple changes and adaptations. Starting its' "life" as a pristine, out-of-the-box baby shelter, along the way, it passes through some much darker, almost seedier stages. Join us as we follow this structure on its' journey from innocently purchased duck house to its' final incarnation as a hillside duck hide-away ... which of course, the little buggers hide under, not in!
Nicely Done!

I love the fact that this coop can be moved indoors in case of hurricanes ... or in my case, snowstorms. The text is clear and thorough; he pictures extremely helpful. VERY nicely done!

Wow! Farming is a rough life, but the rewards are WONDERFUL! Thanks for sharing!

What a nice, positive article! The pictures are lovely and the author obviuosly knows her birds on an individual, personal level.

Maybe we don't need to be as leery of eBay eggs as first thought. Please keep the pics coming as the babies grow.

Great demo - both the pictures and the text. On a side note, you can make your own out of a head harness used to restrain dogs that pull. Gentle Leader makes one, but it's pretty pricey. I got a knock off on eBay for $1.99, USD. The key is to snip the threads that hold the muzzle piece together - so that the piece around your chicken's neck moves freely. Then you turn the harness upside down, open up the other loop and pass it under the bird's wings, like in this article. Works like a charm for two bucks and free shipping ... and my roosters go everywhere - to school, to TSC, to the dreaded vet. It's fun!

What a great idea! Cheap, easy and totally effective. Perfect!

What a neat history! The pics are beautiful (as are the birds doing the modeling) and there is a lot of good information on what was done and what resulted. Thanks for letting us follow along!

What a great idea ... frugal in all concepts = cost of supplies, cost of feed and savings on winter fodder costs. What a great system!

Whoa! If I'd seen this a few weeks ago, my coop roof would have been replaced already. Hurricane hardware? Never heard of it before today, but I'm so on it, now. I have been waaaaaaaaay overthinking this project! THANKS!

This is a good "short list" of some of the more rare chicken breeds. I keep Nankin bantams, and can testify to the satisfaction that comes from helping to save a rare creature from extinction. If you want to make a difference, help save a breed. It's worth the effort - and adds a neat story to your own back yard!

This article should be a must-read for soft-hearted chicken keepers who feel awful about losing a bird ... or two ... or more. Life happens. Death does, too. When we feel as though we coulda/shoulda/oughta have known, this article helps validate the loss and move on. Nicely done!

I'll be watching this one ... what a pretty color mix for an egg basket!

You have absolutely perfect timing! It's my turn to take dinner to our 4H-ers at the County Fair, tomorrow. It has to be something teen/kid friendly and easy to eat without utensils. I have a large can of blueberry pie filling taking up space in my cabinet ... so ... guess what's for dessert!

Oh good heavens ... these are not just useful, they're absolutely GORGEOUS!
