    Hello, I'm in Sammamish and have a 50# bag of organic cracked corn from Issaquah Grange Supply (They don't sell organic in smaller quantities). I only have four chickens so i'll never go through it all as I only use it as scratch. Does anyone want to split the cost of the bag with me? AJ

    Weird seam showing up on one of my Delaware's eggs all of a sudden

    Hello, For the last month, one of my Delawares always lays eggs with a cross-shaped seam on the pointy end. She is a year old and never did it before this. Any ideas? Is it an early indication of infection? She seems perfectly healthy. Thank you for the help.

    One otherwise healthy chicken stopped roosting

    Thanks. That is comforting. It does seem odd thought that she used to roost and now, when it's getting colder, she doesn't want to be on the roost with the other three. She seems fine though.

    One otherwise healthy chicken stopped roosting

    Hello. I have 4 chickens, 9 months old. They are vivacious and noisy and appear for all the world to be healthy. One hen clearly stood out as the mother hen from an early age and she remains so. Oddly though, she seems to have stopped roosting at night. She used to roost. All the others...

    King Coops has BYC member's coops photos posted on their website...

    PS. They are not closing down their site just because of my wife's letter. They were apparently going out of business already. Just thought I should clarify that. AJ

    Insulation...what kind?

    You can have a look at my coop page. I used rolls of r-13 pink fiberglass batts which is the cheapest option. You can just use 1/4 plywood which is inexpensive or even OSB which is really cheap at about $11 for a 4x8 sheet at Home Depot. If you were planning to put a light in your coop...

    King Coops has BYC member's coops photos posted on their website...

    Just an update regarding my stolen design. My wife, being a lawyer, did a little digging and wrote a nastygram to them. She received a quick response and they removed my images. They also said they get the images from potential customers who want them built. obviously that is a halftruth...
