So I’ve posted a few times about my BYC and if they were roos vs hens.
I must have some bad luck as a beginner because all three of the RIRs that TSC advertised and sold were supposed to be pullets and all three ended up being Roos. I had hope that the last RIR that we have was a hen because...
We officially have eggs! The girls hit 16 weeks on Monday and on Tuesday I found a tiny brown egg in the nesting! Since then, I have found one a day! ❤️ I believe it’s our BR that is laying, but maybe our RIR is too! It’s hard to tell for me since they both have brown eggs! But I’m so happy!
We started our BYC journey in March with three RIR and four BR. Unfortunately, one of the BR passed away shortly a few days later to unknown reasons. But everyone else thrived! As they got older we realized that one of the BR was a rooster (Basil), but were told by TSC that all the RIR were...

The coop would be the only area getting the sand, their run is...
Hello! Just want to spoil the girls we have, but get mixed reviews on giving them some of our extra cooked sourdough discard pancakes! It’s a very basic recipe with discard, flour, milk, egg, oil, baking powder and soda, and salt, with a dash of Mexican vanilla.
Hello! We have 12 week old RIR and BR … we have some leftover Romaine lettuce and was thinking it was okay to feed them some chopped up as a treat? Or are they still too young? Currently, only treat they get is clover!
Hi guys! New chicken mom here and starting our little suburban homestead! We have 6 10 week old fluff butts (3 Rhode Island Reds and 3 Barred Rocks). I specifically got pullets on the Reds, but the Barred Rocks were mixed. I know I have one roo and one hen. I can’t figure out if the third one is...
