Hi Paul,

I've been meaning to write. I have two specific editing comments - which I hope comes across as gently as I am intneding it... . I suggest changing the name of the article to "Six Ways To Keep Chickens" which is a neutral title. "Concerns About How Most People Raise Chickens" comes across with a critical tone and might cause problems with readers from the git-go, especially readers with a coop and run system..

Also, I would delete most of the first paragraph and start the article along lines as follows:



six approaches to raising chickens

These are all of the methods I'm aware of for raising chickens. There are also combinations of these techniques. I've tried nearly all of them. I've visited a lot of farms. All of these can be done in the city or on acreage. Here are the core six methods along with comparisons of their practical implementations (breeds, predators, city limitations, improving production, lowering costs, etc.).



Hope this helps.

Marjory
