This is an awesome idea to share shipping and order costs ... but we need baby pics!

The text is clear and easy to read. The pictures are great and show exactly what was found and the wound looks neat and clean, afterwards. Very nicely done - both the surgery and the article!
Do you have a follow-up picture of how Goldie healed?

If you're gonna move your chicken tractor, you GOTTA read this first! Tractors are a great way to keep your chickens mobile and save your grass ... but there are dangers we don't usually think about. This one is easily avoidable, but only if you think about it BEFORE you move your coop ... but who knew?

Not much test here, but a good pic of compost bins right in the run ... and VERY pretty ladies!

Now we know why they call the "Lean-to's!"
This is an excellent "Narrate as you go," article. It's an easy read, and a real boost for those of us using "found items" to build or rebuild ... "DIY Chickeneering" at its' best! It's also a reminder to those (like me) who tend to keep every little thing because "I might be able to use it someday." It's time to clear out the clutter ... or at least organize it ... again!

What an awesome coop! I wouldn't be too quick to move it away from the house. Check with your local feed store. There are lots of powdered smell-and-moisture reducers on the market. If you don't find one for poultry, try the ones for horses. Many of those are noted as "safe for poultry," too.

This is a great little story I love that the chicks timing saved them from the trash bin ... what a surprise that must have been! If you'll add a few pics of Momma & babies, this would be a really nice little article!

What a great location! And a great start! One suggestion on whether or not you should slope the roof of your under-cover coop. If you're not going to slope it, consider putting a tarp, or some other sort of removable cover on top of the roof. It'll make cleaning it off MUCH easier. I'd actually consider sloping it forward (down-in-front) for access and/or keeping the biddies off of it. You just KNOW the little stinkers are going to congregate up there - and probably nest as well. You need to be able to get to it.
I'll be watching this one!

There's not a lot of text with this article, but the many pictures tell most of the story well on their own. I love the base!

There is a lot to be said for using prefab coops - as long as your area is relatively predator free and you are willing to do some preventive maintenance. This article outlines many positives for using prefab coops and runs - and is a must-read if you want yours to last!

What a pretty flock ... but the "chicken" in that third pic looks like an imposter! You'd better check its' ID!

This sounds like a nice set-up, but the text and pictures don't fill in many details. Some more pics - inside and out - would really help. The mix-up with the upper and lower case fonts (it looks like they're backwards) really makes this article difficult to read ... but there is enough here to make me want to know more. How about giving it a go? I'll bet we'll ALL be pleased with the results!

EDIT - PS ... I LOVE the nest boxes!

This is just chock full of good ideas - from the heat lamp arm to the dust ... and the ducklings are gorgeous! Thanks for a nicely written article and the beautiful pics!

Simply explained and nicely illustrated!

This is well thought out and an easy read - both essential to sorting out beginner questions. And it doesn't hurt that the pictures are beautiful! Nicely done!

I, too, learned this lesson the hard way. Who could have guessed (certainly not the kid that I was!) that a duck could drown? Thank you for this well-thought-out and very nicely written warning.

This is a great intro to free-ranging - lots of good ideas with some personal experiences thrown in, to boot. Nicely Done!

Well thought out, well written and extremely informative. THIS is the way to build ... both a coop and an article. Nicely done!

This looks pretty good. I'm curious as to how moisture/water resistant it turned out, especially in rainy weather.

No real "how-to" instructions, but that's perfectly fine. The pictures are so clear that they really aren't needed - especially since dimensions don't need to be perfect. Nicely done!
