Coop design - FIRE!

So well written. I was glued to my seat while reading the whole thing. I loved the gray chicken with your ducks part in the end.

Yikes! Lots of lessons shared about protecting a flock from fire and treating burnt chickens

Well written and an easy read. Very informative and thoughtful over how the coop might have aided the chicken's survival - ideas I will now take into account with the coop I am currently building!

Yes, I absolutely loved your article. Not only does it give a solid presentation of all that happened during a fire and the aftermath, It also has a great "awwww" factor. Good luck with your new "Duck".

Fire scares most of us ... and we do all we can to protect ourselves from its' dangers. We do what we can to protect our birds, too, but we don't know what actually works unless put to the test ... and nobody wants that! This well-written article documents the coop and run features that saved a neighbor's flock from a live-roasting. The pictures are frightening, but the results are wonderful. There are clear notes on what worked, both in preventing deaths and healing injuries, but there are also some thoughtful comments on how to improve on existing structures. All in all, a really great article ... Nicely Done ... Thank You!
