What’s your BYC expertise?

[Nyhillbillies]

Hello everyone!
It would be great to have a list or cheat sheet on who the knowledgeable ones are in the forum on any given subject. For example, who has knowledge and experience in common medical issues, coop design, pest management….. you get the drift.
That way, if some posts a question, and doesn’t get a satisfactory response, we, the inexperienced, will know who to tag.
Thanks!!

I can help with baby chick-rearing!

@U_Stormcrow is excellent with dissecting feed ingredients and anything about nutrition

@Shadrach is a wealth of info, especially with rooster behavior in

I'm an amateur, but sure, I know more than the novices, and the farm store employees, it seems.

Any coop/run designers or critiquers?
Vermin/predator control advisers?
Brooding/hatching/chicklets specialists? (+ @Iluveggers )
Retirement/end of life/burial gurus?

Here's a thread I started recently, with a few entries from volunteers to be tagged. Thank you for resurrecting the subject.

AArt 3KillerBs NatJ and myself all comment routinely on Coop design. Some portion of which routinely involves Predator protection. And I will edit this later when I'm not using speech to text. No need to tag any of us, as I said, we routinely comment on that forum. Patience, grasshopper.

I believe our coop construction gurus are @3KillerBs and @aart - that I know of.
@DobieLover is knowledgeable about many things.
@Shadrach is a pro on chicken behavior, especially roosters
I'm a fairly good contact for slaughtering and processing advice - but also a pro at spreading misinformation on many other things.

Not so much coop *construction* -- I have to draw on DH's knowledge for that part -- but design and ventilation.

My house flipping experience would qualify me for the construction end of coop/run builds but my problem there is I don't do things half a$$ed and won't answer threads where people are asking how to cob something together.
And I'm quite knowledgeable regarding correct design and sizing of coops and runs as is @rosemarythyme and the others already mentioned.
