I would really like it if this article listed and perhaps showed photographs of some breeds with each type of comb.

The Egg song, it’s not about the egg; it’s an escort call.

This is a very good explanation and seems to be backed up with experience. The article is very well written and clear.

Well written and good information. A lot of us will be able to relate to the bad experiences and the information on how to tame rooster's was good. Of course it is unusual to get a very friendly pet type rooster and this article reflects the more common rooster pros and cons.

Some of the information is good but the tone of this is very abrupt and opinionated. What is the relevance of so called spoiled children not doing homework? Are you implying that if chickens are 'spoiled' with added heat that they will decline in some way?

To say that cold doesn't bother chickens is just factually untrue. Obviously there is some limit of temperatures they can tolerate even with their feathers, although it is unlikely most chicken owners will ever experience those kinds of lows.

Also just because chickens can survive at low temperatures does not mean that they would not be more comfortable and happy at slightly warmer temperatures. The same way humans can survive mildly cold winters with no heat in their home but they would be a lot more comfortable with a little heating.
Now this is not to say that I am pro heating coops, but I take issue with the suggestion that chickens do not deserve anything beyond what is absolutely necessary and that trying to give them comfort is equal to 'spoiling' them.

It would be better to objectively explain to people that it is not necessary to heat coops in 99% of situations and give the reasons with your experience as an example. No need to insult people with different opinions.
