HI Everyone! I just signed on :)

Hello to all the 'chicken folks'!

I raised chickens years ago, and this past summer just bought a small flock (4) Rhode Island Reds hens to help keep my garden bug free, tilled, and fertilized Plus get a few eggs, too. I would like to find two (2) more RIR hens approximately anywhere from 4 months to 18 months old to add to my little flock. I live in NW Michigan, so if anyone knows of any please let me know, I would greatly appreciate it. It's amazing how hard the RIR are to find. Years ago, they were everywhere! Happy Easter to all!

Oh hi I'm new to i got a bit large flock with 39 birds 5 different breeds.but who cares how many birds you got more birds = more feed expenses right. Haha it is true 2 50pound bags a week.

Wow! 2 50# bags! I go through a 50# bag in a month! I feed Non GMO, organic pellets with amazing results! The hens are so much more healthy than when I bought them last summer. I wish I had taken a picture then and now to show people the difference. I bet your chickens would like the entrails of that fish you guys caught!

 

[Nickbuck10]

Yep my brother caught that one I'm on the left. My chickens love the left over minnows when we are done fishing.

They are like little trash cans you can put just about anything an them only difference is they still turn it in to nutritious eggs instead of a land fill.

Welcome to BYC, Deanna. Glad you decided join our flock. You might try posting on our Michigan threads at https://www.backyardchickens.com/newsearch?search=Michigan. Perhaps someone there can help you locate your RIRs. Happy Easter to you as well and good luck in getting your RIRs.
