The list i just read showed the KC being a high quantity layer and a heavy weight layer. Not bad at all from a production standpoint.

Was just re-reading ... average 320 eggs per year. Wow. I knew it was high but had forgotten it was that high.


(Won't be bringing any of these to the swap, though.)

@CliffB thank you so much for the explanation. Any suggestions on what could be used that is light weight and yet predator proof? Would vinyl siding work?

Vinyl siding would be worthless. A friend just had the lap siding pulled off his coop by a raccoon because he used too light duty of a nail to faster it. Personally i would just use RTD sheathing and paint it. If you absolutely want a siding then just use the "Smartside Siding" sold at Home Depot. It's an OSB plywood finished to look like T1-11. It will outlast the other materials on the coop as long as you keep it painted every few years.

I have one KC that I was going to bring to the swap. I bought what I was told was 4 kc's at cliffs store last spring I ended up with 3 chocolate runners and the 1 kc.
 
cliff I think you should do the hiding under the chair thing;-) If I see that TSC has a breed that I want but haven't decided on yet I'll watch the ones someone I know buys. Did they turn out to be what they were labeled as? Did they turn out to be everything the descriptions said? If I like the answers then I'll start my hunt:)

Is anyone hatching ducks for the swap? A friend of mine is looking to get into ducks as a source of hardy egg layer and he wants to get started around January or February and it would fit perfectly in the timeline for the event. If no one has any hatch i'm sure he can just purchase through TSC during our chick days at the end of February but i thought this would give him a chance to ask duck owners questions and gain knowledge before jumping into it.

I have Indian Runner Ducks. I won't have any babies, but I might have some eggs. They are one of the best egg laying ducks out there.

I'm glad you posted that.

My girls have a good sized coop right now, but I was wanting to build them one that would match the house and that siding is close to the color of the siding on my house.

No matter how close the color is absolutely don't leave it that color. That is only a primer and you will have rotten and crumbling wood within the first year. With redwood siding and smartside siding you absolutely have to paint it and caulking the seams is highly recommended. There is a reason they look idntical to T1-11 but around $10-15 cheaper.
