I'm from Northwest Indiana and my husband and I are looking into raising chickens for eggs this spring. Thinking 3-4 birds. Not sure the type. Any help would be appreciated.

Welcome to BYC! Some of the best breeds of chicken to have at first are: buff orpington, Easter Eggers, Barred Rocks, leghorns, or rhode island red to name a few. The decision is all up to you!
