The article shows interesting points to consider when you buy chickens or are a new chicken owner. But contains a few personal opinions/experiences imho. :

I am surprised about what you claim about bantams: “Most roosters are docile and calm, especially breeds like Brahmas, Leghorns, Silkies, and larger breeds, but you're more likely to end up with a mean rooster when raising bantam breeds like seramas, Old English Game Bantams, and more. 🐣
And
“CAN I HAVE MULTIPLE ROOSTERS? The answer to that is yes, (except for bantams)”

Where do you have this information from?
I had several bantam cockerels, different breeds, and I had a few very protective but several docile cockerels too.
I can’t keep roosters in spring (when they start to crow loud) but I had several who were 6- 8 months old and their characters definitely showed.
My individual bantam cockerels:
Protective: Dutch, naine de Tournaisis
Friendly: RIR, Sulmtaler, Amrock

+ I rather say protective and not mean. The protective ones just did their job to protect the hens from intruders. And because they are so small, they never hurt me.
there is lots of useful advice here, good for first time chicken owners.

However, there are quite a few grammatical errors, and the layout can get a bit confusing at times. Pictures, and more info on some of the points would be helpful.
Simple article for beginners with interesting insights. Adding a picture (or two ;) ) and fixing some of the grammar mistakes would better the reader's experience.
On the rooster piece, it should be noted that not all rooster breeds should be kept together, such as the Old English Game breeds, as they will fight to the death, no matter the circumstance (I'm saying this from my own experience raising them). Also, roosters do better together in bachelor flocks than with hens (unless you have more than enough), as they will fight for their amount (this is also from my own existence with different breeds).
Besides that, great article. The key points were enjoyable to read and helpful to anyone who is new to chickens. :thumbsup

Thanks for your input👍 I mainly went off of what I've learned the past six years of owning chickens.
It's a pretty opinionated article, but some info is good; other info can be taken with a grain of salt.

I think "the birds fly" was supposed to be "the bird flu." There are other grammatical errors, but that one stands out. Check the formatting of your numbered sections and either have a space after each, or no space, but you have both.
Has some very good tips and advice, however it could use some improvement on spelling, grammar, and formatting.
