Capitalization, punctuation, spelling, grammar. It's not nit-picky--it makes any written thing readable.

Also, maybe a quantitative mention of how much is "a lot or a little" when it comes to space. A link or reference to recommended square footage per bird by breed? Ex: large breeds need at least 4 sq ft in the coop and 10 sq ft in the run.

Not much to go on here. Soooo many more aspects to this than just feed.

Good article!
Addressing the pros and cons of all-the-same and different roost heights might be useful, as well as lower roosts for heavy birds or silkies, etc.

All good reasons to grow a garden! #5 is not so much a reason to grow a garden, as much as a good reason to have chickens. I have a big herb garden for mine, and a small greens garden because mine can't free-range. Beware of too much parsley...too much of it is not good.

I read this a while back, but since we'll be building our coop & run (once the ground finally dries out from the monsoon rains) it's even more relevant now. In fact, the hubs just put built new stairs from the garage into the house (the contractor had made some insanely steep temporary ones) and hubs said I could keep the old ones. He rolled his eyes when he said it, but oh well. :p
