sorry but this article isn't complete! I see something that looks like a home-made egg-turner and there is not a single word about it in the description. Also the pictures are too small to see any details. Beautiful chick though.

This is the kind of incubator i want! A cabinet incubator with lot's of space and enough room for the hatchlings to dry out at the bottom. This would deserve five stars as it is well written, but the description of the built needs more details and the pictures are too small…

Short, precise and to the point! Thank you very much for writing it up.

Thank you very much for writing this article! I am currently in the process to establish a small duck egg sales and your article was very helpful.

Fun to read, Thank you very much for writing this up.

I have learnt a lot of new English words by reading this article! Who would have thought that chickens have so many different kinds of feathers, and that a feather is such a complex structure.
Thank you very much for this very educational article.

What a wonderful plea for the animals! - You can replace the word "Chicken" with "Duck", "Goat", "Horse", "Cat", "Dog" or any other animal that became a part of your family! Just because a bird can't lay an egg a day anymore, the cat became too slow to catch the mice and the ol' dog rather sleeps at night than standing guard doesn't mean those animals have lost any purpose.

Thank you very much for writing up such a well balanced article about such a delicate topic!
I was lucky so far that i never had to cull a duckling, but it is not a question of "if" but of "when" i need to do that and surely your article will help a lot then.

a checklist of things you shouldn't do. Very well written, comprehensive and easy to read.

Very detailed description of the issue and the treatment supported by some pictures

Love the brooder, nice size, but how did you built it? What materials did you use?

Overall well written and a good summary of tips and tricks. Some good pictures would help to make things clearer, like where do you hang the herbs so that the chicken won't eat them...

Who would have thought somebody can build an incubator out of a plastic sink! Great idea.
A bit hard to follow, but the incubator works like almost all diy devices do: Incandescent lights as a heat source, thermostat module and dimmer switch.

Very well written and fun to read, lot's and lot's of pictures and detailed lists of materials and costs. Using this article a guy with two left hands (me!) could build this coop. Thank you very much for sharing!

What a great result! You should be proud as a »non-builder« you have build a beautiful coop.
Detailed documentation of all building progress, fun to read and many pictures.

Hard work leads to great results. Very good pictures.

Incredible what can be made out of some old pallets and reclaimed wood!
Detailed documentation of all steps of the build with lot's of pictures.

Very well written with detailed descriptions for every step, supported by plenty of pictures.

Great little coop, love the idea of the »sun porch«, so your birds can stay locked up during lousy weather. Love the recycling idea for the floor register, try to get through that racoon!
A little more details about how everything was pout together would be very valuable.

Nice idea to build a temporary chicken coop out of a - what is that thing? A freight-box for cabbage?
And what are those green things? - Screen doors?
Very interesting built, you need to tell us more about the materials you used and where you got them. The result looks great! I love that sliding door, ingenious!!! I may steal this for my duck-house, a horizontally sliding door is much safer for automation than a vertical door.
