A very good idea, but this article needs some improvements:

Such a long list should be broken up into categories, each for a different topic, like "Chicken laws" or "Backyard Chicken History", …
All those categories should have at least a punch line.
A few words of explanation for each link where the title isn't self-explanatory, like i don't know what to expect when i click on the link »Cluck, Cluck: Populating Your Coop« (Article about where to get chickens)

Would love to give you the fifth star this work deserves!

Great re-cycling! Article is easy to read and gives enough details so that anyone witch basic skills can recreate this brooder. Nice pictures too.

Why has this small font been used? - Other than that, this article is pleasing to read, love the humor about the pipe-section in the store! (I second that!!!) Pictures could be larger.

Three stars for the design, not the article! As with so many articles i have seen, please add full size pictures! Those tiny pre-views do not show any details! A brief list of materials and tools is very helpful, also some more details.
I love the colors!!!

Just posting a set of pictures with a few lines of text doesn't make an article! I would love to re-rate after this article has been finished. Please make the pictures larger, add some more details of the steps to built this feeder, finally a list of materials and tools.

The brooder looks very interesting, but publishing just a picture does not make for an article.

That article looks more like a write-down of a brainstorming session on a white board. Not even complete sentences! And just two pictures of low quality and resolution.

Love the idea of recycling an old defective fridge into an incubator. Well written article, that could be made better by adding a parts-list and some pictures showing more details.

Simple design and nice parts list. - But where is the article?

What a great idea to use an old aquarium as a 'bator! This way you can really observer the hatch process in all details.
Article is easy to read with many pictures, a little lack of details, but that's fine with an emergency solution.

If you already have a kiddie-pool it is the quickest and cheapest way to set up a brooder for your little birds. Not many details necessary to describe such a simple set-up, just some larger pictures would be nice.

Sounds like a quick and easy "hacked-together" brooder. But there is no description of how you built it and none of how it folds together for storing.

Very well written, all steps with supporting pictures and a comprehensive parts list.
Love the glass door!

Sadly this feeder concept won't work for my duck-pigs!
Compact but straight-forward to the point article. There are just not much details that could be described for such a simple design. Pictures could be larger, therefore -1 *

Especially the acrylic door is intriguing! If i ever built an incubator it will have a glass or acrylic door for sure. The article is well written, but there are not enough details, like a basic wiring diagram and the pictures are too tiny to see any details.

… Your drawing is way too small to be of any use! Other than that, well written and with many supporting pictures. Love the idea of heating chambers and air ducts to address cold and hot spots.

Another two in one article: Styrofoam Incubator plus DIY egg-turner.
Comprehensive list of materials used, detailed description of the built and even a suggestion for a progress form . Perfect!

A two in one Article: Very good description of how to build an incubator, including a diagram how to wire a light bulb to a thermostat and how to build a simple egg-turner. Not automatic, but simple and you can turn the eggs without opening the 'bator. Nice pictures, but they could be larger.

I love the concept of the triangular cabinet with the glass (?) lid. - Which brings me straight to why i can only rate this with three stars: No description of how you built that beauty at all. Love the pictures of the eggs and the hatching chicks, but i'd like to learn how to built one for myself.

An impressive built, but the description is a bit confusing and i doubt i would be able to build one for myself without more details made available. Also the pictures are a little small and some are blurry.
