Well written article. Heritage breeds of turkeys will take a lot longer to reach butcher size. 20 weeks is generally for the broad breasted varieties, otherwise great information for anyone wanting to raise turkeys.

Great use of recycled products. I absolutely love the look of the pallet wood as we. Wish we could have seen the finished product. I think most people could copy this design from what was shown.

As this article is mostly plans I will rate it as such. I like the drawings that accompany the descriptions of how to put this coop together. Wish it was actually built, but anyone should be able to reproduce it by following the article.

Nice little portable coop. Great use of recycled materials. Might not be predator proof, but definitely useful in the right situation. I like the pictures showing the inside of the coop as well as during the construction.
