My take on the garden coop (Lots o pics)

[Ernie]

Thanks, I was planning on putting a roost in there today, hopefully that will discourage them.

From what I've read, western red cedar is not a problem. It's a different species from what is often marketed as cedar, when in fact is a juniper. Mine is all western red cedar. Any cedar experts care to clarify?

Katy, so far, the white silkie goes up on her own, I had to put the buff one into the house last night. I'm hoping she'll catch on

Western red cedar is not toxic like the other cedars -- you're right, Ernie, the others are juniper. Not only that, but western red cedar is about the best you can use in Seattle because it stands up so well to damp conditions. Being a Seattle native, I oughta know!

Welcome to BYC, Ernie. You're already an asset to the rest of us!

By the way, we are DEFINITELY in the rainy season

Ernie!

It's a beautiful coop, I'm sure your girls love it.

There's a lot of us in the Seattle area. Be sure to check out the Washingtonians thread in the "Where am I? Where are you!" section.
