I've learned a lot from it too...and am still learning! Never heard of a half-monitor coop before....I've seen them in pics but didn't know what they were called and still don't know why they are called that~maybe you could explain?
I know, for my part, the basics of chicken husbandry are pretty much plain and don't require much elaboration...and they have certainly been elaborated upon during the course of this thread!You know...not much new under the sun, yadda, yadda, yadda.
Every day I'm learning new things about an old subject but it really can't be considered OT advice if it's new stuff....like using poultry nipples for watering~where have they been all my life??? LOVE them!
And fermenting feeds for improved health and more feed efficiency~that's an old one that I am just now implementing and should have been doing all along but just never really thought to look into it.
Electric poultry netting....lovely stuff if you don't have a perimeter fence around your chicken space and I don't know why more folks don't use them if they don't have a dog and they want to free range. Not old timer kinda stuff but still great things to try in today's world of chickening, especially with folks doing it in the suburbs.
I love this thread because it has a lot of practical solutions to the same old problems...that's the OT thread, in a nutshell.

I know keep it simple. I am the one that makes it difficult not the chickens.
