This is a very informative article. I have never had a problem with aggressive chicks, but I have found this article very helpful if I do ever have a problem. The update was also helpful and interesting.

A very informative article! I have often wondered if bananas were safe for chickens and was always concerned that they weren't, so I never fed them any. This article not only said that they are safe but proved that they are safe for chickens to eat. The section on Are Bananas Good for Chickens in this article helped clear up any doubts I had. I always keep frozen bananas in my freezer and after reading this article, I would like to offer them to my chickens for a treat this summer.

Lots of great pictures of the building process. This is a beautiful coop and I love the stone siding around that window! There's no measurements of the build, sadly. Adding more details might help others who would like to copy this design.

Awesome and simple article on explaining this wonderful site! I know for me, just hanging out on BYC has given me more experience in chicken keeping from listening to other people try things and state the results. I may have never tried or even had thought of some of the things I've learned on here but I've stumbled across threads that educated me. Also, because of hanging around on BYC alone, I've been able to name my chickens' health issues faster and get help for them, just by learning what it was months before the issue occurred on BYC. This is really a great site to hangout on and learn. Thanks for posting this article.

A well written article on feeding treats to your chickens. The article did really well covering how treats should be fed in moderation and why. Towards the end of the article, it included a small list of healthy treats that you can feed your chickens (feeding chickens chicken kinda creeped me out, though I've heard of it before) and a list of things that should not be fed to your chickens.
(I enjoyed seeing other member's pictures in this article and them credited.)

Very nice walk through of the coop and how everything works in the first half of this article. On the section half, excellent details on how to cut out this coop from plywood sheets and the measurements on doing so. I would have marked this article a five star as it is a very well-written article, but it appears like it was never finished? I would have loved to see how to do the rest of the coop because this article was very informative.

Most of the pictures appear to be missing and a lot of this article appears like it was a copy and paste from another website. The write-up seems like it was good, but I can't see what it's trying to show.

Well written article on training your flock to roost at night and from my own chicken experience, I can see the 'cooping for a few days' method is very effective.

Awesome coop article! It was very entertaining, including the pictures to go along with the writing. There was lots of great pictures of the building process and even a blueprint of the coop at the end of the article.

A simple article on protecting your flock based on the seasons. It had a lot of focus on electric fencing, especially for the summer.

Awesome imput on this information! I am one of those chicken keepers who often look to stop the bully hen and overlook boosting the victim hen's confidence. This article was very eye-opening and I would like to try this myself.

Easy read and lovely design! There's lots of pictures of the building process as well. I love how the outside entry to the nesting box is.
A+ article! It was very well written, had excellent details, and great pictures showing how to build these cones. It even included a list of materials needed and a video on how to do it as well.

Lots of great pictures. I love the linoleum idea and have been wanting to try it for some time.
Very interesting and entertaining read. No details on what was used for seasonings or amounts used. Pictures may have been helpful on that part as well. Other than that, this was a very enjoyable and somewhat humorous read. Thanks for sharing.
