Been raising chickens most of my 71 yrs of life, starting with my granny when I was age 7. Have seen a lot of breeds come and go. Like trying new crosses and purchased 3 Tetra's brown on March 7 this year and was researching them and decided to look in BYC for any answers. These pullets has amazed me as one started laying on June the 15 and as of today, July 1st has laid 13 eggs. This is an absolute first for me to have a breed lay so young. They look like a red sex link but a smaller trimmer body like a leghorn. Her eggs is as dark as a marans that I use to raise. Very pleased. Now curious to see if her production holds. I have several breeds and a total of about 30 birds. Looking forward to this site!
 
:welcome Youngster,,
as far as I know, I am about the oldest
chicken man here. will be 75 in Sept..
We should get an old fart's thread going.
I am not into breeding or anything like that. I have a few hens for eggs. 5 too many roosters.
we raise some meat chickens once in awhile.
I also build electric chicken pluckers and sell them..:old

Hi and welcome to to BYC. I'm sure we will all benefit from you sharing your knowledge and experience here on BYC.

Jvls- we have ourselves a much loved and respected member called Sourland - he out-trumps you a year or so :)
 
There is such a thread, it's called "The Old Folks home," but you don't have to be old to join. Lots of great folks on it, like me for instance :lau. Topics change often. I think one of our oldest is in his 80's, I will be 70 in a few days. - our b-days are one day apart.

Welcome to the Backyard chickens thread. Great to meet you :ya
