But what are the "topics" allowed for articles.
Should I start an article to keep track of the growth of my chicks?
or a thread?
There is a difference between the two, articles and threads, I'm looking for a more specific answer.

i would write an article, people also do articles for their coops
a thread will get cluttered with chit-chat about them and you will lose the pertinent information that you are trying to remember and compare

@Nifty-Chicken Can we get an official answer for article vs. threads.

@Nifty-Chicken Can we get an official answer for article vs. threads.

Sure!

Thread: Sometimes called a "topic" is a set of "messages" (sometimes called "posts") in our community discussion forum. An individual creates a thread and then other members can post replies (posts/messages). The replies are added in chronological order.

Article: A single page of information that the author wants to share with the world. Our articles section is full of examples of helpful pages. Articles are not commonly used for asking questions or engaging others in a discussion.
