Editorial Standards

We want YardRoost to be useful, accurate, and easy to follow. Here’s how we approach content:

• Practical first: we write for small backyard flocks and real-world constraints (space, budget, weather, neighbors).

• Clarity over hype: we avoid exaggerated claims and focus on what works for most keepers.

• Evidence-aware: when a topic involves health, disease, safety, or legal rules, we prioritize reputable guidance (for example, university extension programs and official animal-health resources).

• Updates matter: we revisit content, fix mistakes, and update recommendations when products, best practices, or guidance changes.

• Transparency: we clearly label affiliate relationships and aim to keep editorial decisions separate from monetization.
