Well hello Tyler.
It was really interesting reading your introduction. Good to have you onboard and I hope to catch you again soon. I could really do with a little of your advice right now
ThanksGood luck with school. There is a lot of good info here on BYC. Good luck and have fun...
Balancing school with sports is tough but rewarding at the same time.
Thank you.
Sweet! Nice to 'meat' you! I've raised meat chickens a few years, too.

Alright. My name is Tyler, I am a female animal enthusiast. I love chickens (obviously) bunnies, dogs, cats, honey bees, and pretty much everything. Before I joined, I used to hop on this site occasionally whenever one of my hens got hurt or wasn't feeling well.
I have some experience with chickens, in 2020 my dad purchased 50 meat birds. They were Red Rangers, the second best broiler in the US, with Cornish Cross being first. Me and my mom raised them and when they reached the age of 3 months we processed them. And then this year my dad bought 5 egg layers, more like 4, since one was a rooster. Their names are: Nancy (RIR) Luela, or Lulu, (Barred Plymouth Rock) Chica, (RIR) and Roxie, (Ameraucauna.) (I will better introduce my Coop when I get time.)
Lastly, we have Penny, who sadly was a rooster and had to be put down by my dad. We are not allowed to have chickens where we live, and having a crower would not help to keep them under the radar. I miss Penny greatly to this day.
On a brighter note, all the hens have reached the grand age of 22 weeks, and have started laying adorable little pullet eggs. Just Nancy and Luela have at the moment, but they're all singing the 'Egg Song' so Chica and Roxie will soon, I bet. What else about me? I am a Freshman. High School is not too bad, I am in JV Volleyball... I make art, digital and traditional, and I am a current member of Wolfplay.
And if ya haven't already guessed, I plan on being a vet. Well, I can't think of anything else, so... have a good day and thanks for reading!
