Welcome to BYC!

RIR's are good layers of brown eggs, the 2 in our mixed flock lay almost every day. Hope you enjoy them and pictures of the little ones would be nice to see.

Hello &

Everyone here has left very good advice. I have three RIRs myself and they're wonderful birds, they're great layers, very friendly, and very curious. Hope you will post pictures when they arrive. Enjoy your new babies and BYC.

Welcome to BYC!

I'm glad you joined our community.

I hope your Rhode Island Reds all arrive safely! I've enjoyed my Production-style Rhode Island Red. She's been a very good layer, though hasn't had the best personality of my birds (not mean, just standoffish).

I'm glad you joined our "flock!"

Good luck with your future chicks!
