Has good info, but could use some formatting like article sections and paragraph breaks.

It also needs pictures - you're allowed to use any pictures on BYC, so you can find pictures and add them. It's nice to get the picture owner's permission first, but posting a picture on BYC gives BYC rights to use it. So you can use pictures that aren't yours in this article.

If you update it, tag me and I'll come back and update my rating :)

Thanks. I’m not comfortable using other ppls photos. I started blogging here 4 yrs ago to help support farther away poultry caregivers over COVID isolation as best I could. I’m not one for reviews, not on any social media platforms. Sorry what I wrote was lacking pics. I remember why I stopped posting now.
I find this platform not user friendly when you’re working from mobile; paragraph form is not always easy to format when you’re not on PC. And ppl are quick with negative feedback.

Literally, just trying to help poultry folks as I’m able. I’m a mom of 4 human kids, teacher and have a flock of 25 mixed breed chickens, work as wildlife rehabber for birds as well.. I don’t care how you rate me. Facts are facts. I’ve been raising chickens for over 40 yrs and was so enthusiastic I tried to help folks here with my own experiences, and on the field while I treat local community flocks when no avian vet can be afforded by those families.

A nice run addition! It looks like one of your pictures is broken so you may want to fix it.

Looks like a well-built coop. Adding more details of how the build was done, and a materials list, would be helpful.

Good article! It's cool to see a 20 year old coop receive an upgrade. Adding build details for the original structure would be helpful for anyone who might want to try to recreate this.

Good article about how to recognize a malposition ans steps to take to try to save the chick. This is one of the hardest ones to deal with. Even with intervention, I find they often don't make it, so don't beat yourself up about the loss.

This looks very similar to my first incubator - I also made one from a styrofoam cooler.

Only thing I would change is it doesn't look like you have anything controlling the temperature, which could be a problem if it gets too hot and the temp spikes and there's nothing to control that. If you don't like wiring, my first incubator used a reptile thermostat to keep the temperature steady - you just plug your lightbulb into it and does the rest.

I (me) was the thermostat for that first hatch and it was STRESSFUL! 16 of the 17 eggs that went in hatched but I had to watch that thing like a hawk! We ended up putting a camera on it so we could check the temp and humidity when we were gone! I will DEFINITELY be taking your advice on the reptile thermostat for my next batch of eggs! Thanks!

Looks like a nice coop for a few chickens. The conversion of the swingset was neat to see. I would swap out that chicken wire for hardware cloth, or else you could have issues with predators.

Good job on the coop, and good use of recycled materials. Would love to see it finished.
