Image credits and graphics
This website uses two kinds of images: line drawings of device types, which are our own work, and photographic scenes, which are AI-generated symbolic images. None of them shows a real product, a real coop or a real flock.
Our own drawings instead of product photos
The cross-section of a winter coop on the home page and the drawings on the product cards were made for this site. They show the principle of a device type, for example a flat panel on a wall or a fount on a heated base, and not a specific model. We do not use product photos from Amazon or from manufacturers.
AI-generated symbolic images
The photographic images on this site were generated with an AI image model from OpenAI. They are symbolic scenes that set the mood of a topic: a coop in snow, hens on a roost, a frozen water tub. They are not photographs, they document nothing, and they are no evidence of how a product looks or performs. Details in such an image, for example a light in a coop window, are not a recommendation.
Each of these images carries the credit “AI-generated (OpenAI)” where it appears. The full list:
