And I'm quite knowledgeable regarding correct design and sizing of coops and runs as is @rosemarythyme and the others already mentioned.

I think most of us supply roughly the same information, it's just a matter of who is on when (I tend to be "late night" compared to rest of the US, aart would be more early morning from what I've seen during bouts of insomnia, 3KillerBs would be more mid day?) Plus we deal with different climates so we can give feedback on what specifically might work better in one climate over another.

Not sure if I qualify as an "expert" on this as I don't add chicks frequently but I'm a big proponent of early integration (specifically chicks to existing adults) and brooding outdoors with minimal effort as possible (zero clean-up brooding).

There are many knowleadable contributors on BYC who don't post enough or are not on the approved/popular/regular contributor list.
As with most forums, it's often difficult to seperate those who are viewed as experts because they are friendly and high profile and those who really know thier stuff, but may not have the required attitude, nationality, or some of the other qualities that BYC deems appropriate, or, and this is quite common I think, have the interest in being tagged for every trivial question that could be answered by some research.

I realise we live in an era where many people seem to believe that they are entitled to demand personal attention from those who do volunteer to help if they can, but the vast majority of the questions that get asked have been answered adnauseam and a few moments using the search function would provide an adequate answer.
