This is a really cool idea for recycling old items into a mobile chicken coop! The run made with the satellite dish and the cattle panels is a neat addition.

Only thing I would suggest for the article is fixing the formatting a bit - it makes it a little hard to read.

Good advice to avoid wild mushrooms - I would be too worried I'd accidentally feed them a toxic one!

A good documentation on how you treated frostbite in your hen.
A very nice run-down of how to get started in still life photography.

Great info about insulating a coop while also still providing insulation. The part about eating Styrofoam made me laugh - I don't know what it is, but chickens are just drawn to it! Mine always eat it if they have access.

Good article! Interesting that too much kale can cause issues.
Good article on the dangers of using pesticides and herbicides around chickens, and the other options you can explore instead. For me, my chickens ARE my pesticides and herbicides, haha. I just let them loose wherever I need insect control or weed removal, and they get right on it :)

Awesome article, lots of detail!
I found this article very interesting, coming at it from the perspective of someone with parrots. A lot of the time feeding peanuts to parrots is discouraged, since they are so high in fat. I was interested to read how it was similar in chickens!
