I don't know. But I'd be interested in hearing what's available around us! I don't feed organic, but I feel like my feed bill is painful. My flock of 35 +15 juveniles eats 10lbs per day.

There's one in Lebanon IN where I someimes get my feed.

Mostly I go to one east of me in Topeka IN called 'Honeyville Feed and Farm Supply'. Hour and a half either way.

Right now, Central Indiana Organic's prices are around $24 for a 50Lb sack of layer feed, $26 for chick starter, there is a 19% grower feed which is probably between the two in price, and grains ($13.50 for 50Lb wheat, $15 for 50Lb corn).

The prices have skyrocketed over the last year, with the rising price of organic commodities. Only last spring, the layer mash cost $18, chick starter cost $19, wheat cost $9, corn cost $8.50. I have hopes tht the prices will come down again in time. It's excellent feed though. As you're only a few miles south of Lebanon, it almost pays for itself in gas

Hi everyone,

I am considering selling my LF phoenix quad. They are from a hatchery, though I've been told that the hens are of nice quality. The rooster's tail points up like a leghorn's does. Unfortunately. He's still beautifully marked and very tame.

The rooster is a golden duckwing. There are two silver hens and one bb red hen. They range in age from 5-6 months. One of the hens does lay, the others have not started.

I am asking 40.00 for all of them. Or can trade for something else. I would really like some true ameraucanas and some nice silkies. A welsh harlequin duck and/or drake.

I am 25 mins east of Indy. I am also planning on attending the Knox swap meet on the 9th. So could potentially deliver somewhere along the way. Just PM me if you think you may be interested!

I also have two nice black easter egger cockerels for 3.00. They are about 12 weeks old. Friendly. Not yet crowing.

Hello Fellow Hoosiers
I am looking for a home for our Buttercup Rooster (he's about 6 months old). He's friendly with people, but not with our other roosters.
Please pass this along to anyone who might be interested in him.
I'll try to post a picture of him tomorrow. Poor guy, we have to keep him separate from the rest of the flock.

Can someone remind me how to post pictures?

Here's another picture of our rooster, who needs a new home.
