Wonderfully upbeat and inspiring article. This made my day.

Great ideas. Keep biosecurity in mind if offering a Christmas coop tour by providing a biosecurity station with boot covers and hand sanitizer for guests. Don’t forget to have a trash receptical so you’re not chasing covers in the neighborhood.

You present good information and food for thought on how to prep for chickens.

Nice coop. Looks like you added a run. I’d like to see some pics of that, too.
Maybe this Spring when you add to the flock?

Good checklist.

Succinct, on point and complete. Very well written and informative. This is an article worthy of a priority bookmark for anyone with laying hens.

Interesting and informative.

Very educational and well referenced, Perris. Kudos!
In my region (northern mid-west US) I have wild rose (rosa rugosa) growing along the sandy shore in front of my cabin. I took a few stems with strong roots this spring to propagate a hedge. Perhaps the species is not ideal for chickens, however I’m hoping to keep rabbits from invading more prized plantings.

Entertaining and useful article.

Amazing high-end coop for such a challenging terrain! :thumbsup

The article write up is very informative and highly detailed-Are you sure you’re not a professional builder?

Question- how do you find the roof panels holding up now that it’s been over a year?

Nice design for suburban yard. Good detail, plenty of photos, nice write up.

No update on this build since 2012. Author has been absent since 2016. It is what it is-incomplete details.

Should probably be taken off the list for members to rate. After 14 years it’s pretty clear the article will not be updated. As for the coop? We will never know.

The article provides fast facts in a well organized manner for the few breeds presented. I appreciate the style of the article as a quick guide to popular breeds. I may suggest adding even more popular breeds as a series of updates to the original article. Maybe branch out into some of the designer breeds trending in popularity. Well done.

One of my go to articles for reference. The photos are excellent!

creative ideas!

Well written, accurate and succinct.

Nice article on pure bantam breeds ID. Pictures are nice.
Adding more detail on the difference between bantam and standard of the sane breeds, other than size, would make this a 5 star article.

Very informative. I didn’t know that ovarian tumors may be associated with older hens that lay double yokers. I recently had a hen lay a 101 g egg that I was sure would be a double but just a single (very large) yoke.

Nicely written. Good info. Links are very helpful.
