I've had really good laying luck with Austrolorps, Buff Orps, EE's, Delawares, Sussexes, and my NN Turkens have been fantastic layers and of huge eggs too.

Ryan, up here in Delta there is a guy who raises RIRX chickens. I got some a yaer ago and am amazed that they lay like machines!! I have Orpingtons, marans, cochins, austrolorps and ee and these out-lay all those!! I will be getting replacements in the spring from him. If I can help let me know. Lynn

So I got a warning. I responded to a question in random ramblings and apparently offended someone. They edited my post to the last 3 words and I got an official WARNING from BYC. What does that mean? In no way was I attacking anyone in specific, even though the question itself required it

This 'person' didn't even respond to my PM

You Colorado people should understand

Now THAT was an attack.

Some people can't take a joke. Some people get offended just cause they can. I have no idea what an official warning is. You could contact BYC and ask them.

If you get enough points from warnings, you get banned for specific periods from the forum based on how many points you got. The points are larger for more serious "infractions."

Yeah, I got one too for not reporting a thread.

I got one also the other day. I wouldn't worry to much about it. I just try to be more careful of what I say now. I didn't think I was being rude, but I guess someone at BYC did. So I just apologized and moved on.

I am confused. Why would you have to report a thread?

Is that a rhode island red? I don't know what the x means, though....any idea? I've been considering rhode islands. I developed an immunal response to meat...I know weird, right? And so I had to go vegetarian. I don't mind now that I am because I love food and was sort of forced to go explore other foods I never considered before so it's been good..... But with that I won't be eating my beans when they drop in egg production and I'm not sure I'm ok yet giving them away for others to eat.... I have concerns that something might go wrong and someone would get hurts or sick and hold me responsible....I have no reason to believe that would happen but you know this day and age in which we live!

Ryan: x means cross, meaning not pure breed.

Margie: "not reporting an inflammatory thread is considered trolling." Trolling is against the forum rules. https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/misc.php?action=rules https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=182235

So I posted a response to a thread that was deemed inflammatory. I didn't think it was at the time, but I'm not a moderator and I have no idea what went on in the month after I posted.

eta: The whole thread was deemed inflammatory, not my response in particular.

Ryan, Rhode Island red cross breds(x) I don't know what he crosses with for his brown eggs. He has EE(Easter Eggers) that lay nice blue green eggs. I will say that they are wild and it takes a considerable time for them to settle down. There are people up here who won't buy his chicks because they are so flighty but that doesn't seem to effect laying. I get some really huge eggs and lots from his chickens. I'm after the eggs so I overlook the wildness.
Eggs are such good nutrition especially if you feed your hens well. I currently raise mealworms to suppliment their diet. Lynn
