INDIANA BYC'ers HERE!

[strssdmom]

I need some help identifying this one. I have four of them and they were marked Amber Links. I am beginning to doubt that is what they are. They are not get much if any color on them. They are 6 weeks old. Can anyone here help identify?

I am looking for someone willing to home a few bantam cross hens in the Columbus area. They were given to me and they just aren't working out. I don't want any money for them but, with the soon to be additions of 20 + hens its gonna be tight in my coop. Anyone interested?

Sorry to keep changing the subject but husband and I checked our "girls" we bought and are noticing some pink combs and reddish waddles *sigh* so, 3 out of 4 "girls" are probably boys! STILL aren't positive of the other BPR that turned out to be a different breed! One is probably a BSL... the other, just crossing fingers for a hen with brown eggs! Any sexing hints for RIR?

Hello there !
We are from Fort Wayne and rural Columbia City area. My sister-in-law is moving to the in the Columbia City and Churubusco area and we are looking for some BYC folks who would be willing to help her learn of the little and big details of setting up a BYC operation like: judging how big to build, insulation, ventilation, feeding at different ages, how to deal with mistakes and keep encouraged and etc . Any one out there ?

Someone posted a general guideline on a different thread...
1 chicken +
3 square feet +
2 lbs of food per week +
2 cups of water per day +
=1 egg (per day, hopefully)
I'm new too and this was a cool and simple thing to learn!
