Excellent work Shad! And I'd say that even if I didn't like you
Seriously, I like the way you take the time to observe and test. And you can write things up so anyone could understand the results.
I'm helping Sumi and a few others judge the latest round of articles. Some are totally nuts (like the one where someone was claiming you could raise chicks on junk food), some have such poor skills it's hard to read their writings. And a couple are so over my poor head, I don't know if what they're saying is right or not (if anyone has a PhD in genetics, there's an article you should review).
Your articles are clear, concise, you explain how you reach your conclusions and you include sources and/or photos. That makes for a good article my friend! (At least in my opinion.)
