Cool coop! A little more explanation of how you made this into a coop would be helpful. Also, is there some perks to all the doors? It's cute, but just wondering if they were used for cost purposes or for a reason. Pretty neat though!

You need to incorporate what you put into your blog here. This is an incomplete article otherwise as people don't want to have to click back and forth between websites to see what you did. It's a nice coop but from what's here, there's nothing explaining anything to someone who may want to build it.

This needs work to explain what's going on. It's just a bunch of pictures and no finished coop. It's a good start though!

What a coop! Wonderful job documenting it step by step. Your pictures are awesome. I too would love to have seen the finished project once you got the runs done and chickens in. It's just not complete yet but wow, it's awesome!

I love your coop, chicks, and photos. I especially love your slide doors pulley system. I will show that to my husband to change ours to that. Much less work!

You need to fix your text though as it's all a link to your pictures which are posted fine. It's just a distraction is all.

We feed ours buckets of pits/skins as we go cherry picking yearly up in Door County, WI. They love them and it's fun to see the red faces. They know the drill and leave all the pits.

Very informational and actually inspirational as well. We grow kale exclusively for the chickens as I think that's the best green we can grow here but we'll try cauliflower.

This could be so much better if you would have someone run a grammar/spell check for you.

Very informative, but I agree; this article needs photos.

Nice but would be better if we could see inside of it and if you told us a little bit about how to build it.
Comprehensive article about a totally gross topic. This is a great resource to help others with flystrike issues.

This is great. The best thing I liked are the links to the other forums to find more of each particular item and the further reading should the reader want to research further.

There's a typo in this line though: "There is no need for a run at all if your birds can't free-range, but it's a good idea if they can't."

This is great for someone new to quail. In fact, if I ever get into it, I'll be coming back.

Sometime when you get time though, if you could replace the blurrier pictures it would just look much nicer.

Tag me, and I'll come back and rerate this, but you need to do some work first.

First, make some paragraphs and add pictures to show what you're doing. Also, there are different levels of bumblefoot, such as minor where perhaps a drawing cream like PRID would be in order, to the state where cutting it out is necessary. I would show pictures of both minor and major.

Aftercare is also important and a good way to close the article.

I’m a retired poultry microbiologist formerly ARS, USDA; I don’t usually post formal scientific articles here, just trying to use lay-persons terms. A few of my heavier hens had bumble foot years ago thus no pix. I wasn’t thinking about taking pics while I was treating them. I’m sorry. I’ve not had any incidents since I moved my flock to higher ground with less moisture. I tried to explain after care by mentioning maintenance of keeping foot and habitat clean, etc. I agree it’s best to be less invasive while treating which is why I said not to cut too deep or cause stress to your bird(s).
Be careful about which ointments you apply because they most likely will be ingested by birds being treated or other flock members picking at fallen bandages. I recommend non toxic tea tree oil as additional antiseptic or Manuka honey as wound ointment while treating/healing. My avian vet agreed with both those options. Thanks for your input.

This would be useful to have but to make one we need measurements of it and perhaps a starting blueprint or plans.

This needs so much more to help make it useful to others who want to build something like yours. I love the pictures but we need to see the inside too.
I loved reading this. So many great ideas and resolutions to issues, some foreseen and some not. I love the maze made with lawn chairs as an idea for clutter for an otherwise boring run too. Wonderful pictures!

Very useful article as even though we caution people against buying prefabs, this particular coop isn't bad and many want to add runs to them. Great pictures and explanation!
