I think an article about training your dog to be okay around your chickens is a must have, however, I think the author should speak to dog trainers before mentioning certain training tools in the article. Pinch (prong) collars and choke collars can be very damaging if not used properly and should be used by anyone except a trained professional (and even then I am leary of them).

There article has lots of pictures to show how the ready coop can be put together, taken apart, and cleaned.

many of the pictures are missing from the article.....

would love to see details about the build, plans, materials used in the article. In progress pictures would be a bonus as well.

The only thing that I think should be mentioned is that bumble foot is like a staph infection. It mentions disinfecting after performing surgery on your chicken, but sometimes people need to understand why they should be disinfecting.

This should be a topic thread in the forums.....

These are great tips on ways to try and breaks your broody hen.

The article is clear in some basic methods you can try when you have a rooster who is acting aggressive. The tips won’t work for all roosters as they each have their own personality but it gives a rooster owner a good place to start. I also like the disclaimer about hanging them upside down. I see that being the go to answer whenever someone has an aggressive roo, but many fail to mention they have a hard time breathing when upside down.

I really like the idea of raising chicks outside. This article was well thought out, explains the author’s personal experience, and includes pictures of each type of brooding environment discussed in the article.

The article goes through every step. It also includes picture for each step.

This article is well written with a great step by step with pictures.

This article is helpful for understanding less known facts about eggs.

I am really impressed by all the different homemade incubator articles. The list of materials used and pictures are helpful.

There is a article all about the incubator that should be read before reading this article. it would be helpful if the first article was linked to this one so it could be read before reading this article.

It would be nice to see how the coop was built as well as pictures of the interior.

The brooder looks sturdy and easy to clean and maintain. The materials list and pictures are helpful.

What an ingenious way to make an incubator. The detailed steps with pictures are helpful for someone else who would like to convert a wine cooler into an incubator.

Knowing all potential predators is an important part of chicken keeping. This article is a good general start on understanding owls.
