I kept ducks before I had chickens, and I'm happy to see an article that talks about the benefits of keeping them, and how they can be a better choice than chickens for some purposes!

Nice reuse of an old dog kennel. Looks like a nice open air coop for those who live in warm climates.

Looks like a nice little coop! I love the recycling of old materials. Adding in-progress pictures of the build would help for anyone who might to do something similar.

Looks like a nice coop! Adding pictures of plans, or pictures of the build in progress, a materials list, etc would be helpful. Also, I would swap the chicken wire for hardware cloth so it's predator-proof.

Cute little coop for a few chickens. I love the inclusion of plans for those who want to build their own.
Great article showing what to look for when processing a bird.
Good article giving ideas on how to modify a dog crate for quail keeping. Love the idea about the tomato stakes to add a second level.
Nice article for those looking to get into showing for 4H or FFA.

Love the list of materials, plans, and in-depth construction instructions. Only thing I would add is pictures of the build in-progress.

A nice coop. I like how you included your experience after a year and what the cons were for those who might like to make changes to avoid them.

A well-built tractor, though it sounds like it ended up being a bit heavy to move, haha.
Good article that talks about the benefits of thyme for your birds.

Looks like a nice coop, love all the windows. More in progress build pictures and instructions, as well as an internal view of the coop, would be nice to add for people who may want to try building their own version.
