Overall, a decent overveiw. I appreciate the recommendation of "orpington" instead of "buff orpington" like so many do. I believe the "cornish" you list in the meat category, you are actually talking about cornish X, they are different, so I recommend you edit that.

I would change "white or brown leghorn" to "leghorn"
and "Barred rock," to Plymouth rock.
"Maran" should be "marans," it is a french breed, so the 's' stays, even when singular.

I would also suggest adding Ameraucanas and Legbars to the "colored egg layer" category.

I may also suggest adding a "friendly birds" category for those looking for sweet pets. (Bantam Cochins, Silkies, brahmas, Ameraucanas, Orpingtons, etc... may go here.)

Or, since friendliness is much more dependent on the individual, and different people have different things that they classify as friendly, perhaps just an ornamental category: polish, silkies, bantam cochins, phoenix, d'Uccle, etc...

Really, we could sit here all day naming chicken breeds, I think you've done a great job giving people a starting place, the only other thing I would recommend is including some photographs. 😊

Thank you for the recommendations I will go through and edit as soon as I can! :)
Typos, not very detailed, and missing a lot of crucial information.

I love the finished aesthetic, but no details were provided other than how materials were acquired.

Nice coop, way better than the original, and fits nicely in an urban setting. The only thing I would say is it appears a bit small for the number of hens in there.

The article is pretty good, but coop could use more ventilation.

Looks nice and has great pictures, though the article feels pretty disorganized and hard to follow. Could use some text to go more in detail and explain what it is we are looking at.
Nice finished product, but no build details.

Not many build details.
More of a question than a coop article, though I feel this may be too old to have any practical reason to be moved.

Very cool! The only thing that could improve this article is build plans.

Thanks, but the only plans I had were in my head.
I had a general idea what I wanted to do and just started to build and each day it got closer to my coop and run.
Lacks details of any kind, and also only provides a photo from the outside on one side.

Very interesting. I had a bird prolapse due to a large tumor in her intestinal track.

Interesting. Is it a disease or parasite? It is referred to as both in this article. If you do not have access to a vet, what should your first course of action be if you find an infected bird? Can you remove them, or do you have to hope you catch them early enough that drugs can wipe them out?

I never raised ducks, and for some reason, the significance of the material of your duck pond never occurred to me. A very enlightening read and will be beneficial to many.
