Coop Design Contest - Win $20 BYC Gift Certificate •• ENDS 9/15

[The Chicken Lady]

I suggest that the judges deduct points for pages with grammatical errors (such as spelling and capitalization) since these coop pages will become content for the BYC web site.

People should take the time to do their pages right. It's not MySpace.

I'm just one of those people that is really picky about these kinds of things; I'm not perfect myself, but I edit the heck out my stuff if I plan to publish it anywhere...

Love, the English teacher

Maybe you should have a "page" to critique before you criticize (is that how you spell it?) all the hard work everyone has done to put there (or is it their) pages and their coops together. Girl, get your coop page on!! hahahaha

I'm not criticizing. I didn't point out any individual's errors and I don't plan to do so. I'm just offering my opinion on a category for judging, which I'm assuming includes critique of all sorts. It's up to the contest judges to make a final decision on what they want to do.

Unfortunately, when grammar or spelling comes up online, people get all up in arms about it. To me, it's just a presentation thing...

By the way, I don't have a coop page because I don't have a coop right now. I moved to the city for career reasons.

No Problemo.

Now you have me double checking my pages! Im sure they're loaded with mistakes. Maybe BYC can just help correct the errors of the winning page since it will be in the spotlight for everyone to see

My Coop is a modified playhouse from Lowe's. It's a great solution for those who are Construction Challenged.

I love the lowes playhouse idea! We are currently researching chickens. And I think this is a great idea for a coop especially since my husband works at lowes and could probably get a great deal on one!

It worked out perfect for us. It looks great out in the yard and it is painted to match our house. I added a window box planter over the weekend, I just have to add the flowers now. Nobody would ever know that it was a chicken house, if they could see it from the road!!

I want to get another one!
