A very cute coop made out of recycled materials!

A nice, well-built coop! I don't know if I could deal with one right against my house, haha, but I would love the chicken tv!

A very nice build! I only suggest working on the formatting so it's easier to read

Very pretty coop! Adding some details about the build and some in-progress pictures would be helpful.

A cute coop! Would love to see the dimensions of the coop space not including the run.

A nice little coop! Would love if some detail was added to the article about how it was built, etc.

I love the repurposing of old structures to make chicken coops

I would suggest going with something other than chicken wire, just because it does not keep predators out - they can go right through it.

Great article! Love all the details and pictures, and tool list.

A nice article with a good overview of how to get started selling eggs from your flock.

I'm always a fan of recycling material for other uses, and I find it really cool to see what people come up with!

Good article! Some pictures of the different kinds of heat sources would be good.

A great article about feeding baby chicks. I would add that the medication used in most medicated feeds to prevent coccidiosis, amprolium, isn't actually an antibiotic - it's a thiamine blocker.

I usually let my chickens clean up the turkey carcass after Thanksgiving; they go crazy for it.

Good info about the risks of overheating baby chicks. A lot of people become so worried about them getting cold, they go too far the other way.

I love the info about store bought eggs versus eggs from your own flock.

Very interesting, I didn't know bamboo was edible!

Great starter tips for chicken beginners.

A good article about how to get started with fodder for chickens. Geese appreciate fodder too, especially in winter!

A good article! The only thing I would potentially add is some info about what breeds are better for meat, and can't be kept as pets as well - those being the broad-breasted breeds, which get very large so are good for meat, but have health problems as a result, so they don't make as good pets.

Overall a pretty good overview of breeds!

A few small changes, like moving Rhode Island Reds to the dual purpose category, since they are a dual purpose breed, would be good.

There are also a few grammatical errors, like for example the apostrophe in the "Eggs" section title.

My last suggestion would be to add some pictures.
