I'm in Alexandria! The first time we had chickens we has Rhode Island Reds and they were good starters for sure my oldest loved them.Hi all! I’m SUPER new to BYC and online ‘sharing’ in general, (no FB, Nextdoor, or anything) so please go easy on me. I’m not even sure I put this post in the right place .
We just bought a little farm, outside of Muncie and just finished cleaning and totally refurbishing the existing chicken coop. We’re looking for our first flock of 10-15 hens of any age.
Any suggestions? Hubby has been messaging various chicken groups on FB but can’t get anyone to answer. I’d like to start with adults and see how that goes before trying my hand at eggs/infants.

I got Russian Orloffs from the Muncie RK in June. I lost one (out of 10) early on, but the rest are doing great. I just wish they had been straight run instead of pullets, because now I can’t breed them. Ironically, I had a 4 year old Russian Orloff rooster that I decided to sell this spring, because I didn’t expect to ever have hens for him. If any of yours turn out to be male that you don’t want to keep, please let me know. I will pay to get a boy!Russian Orloffs(rural king may have been fibbing to me about these)
Check with your local ag extension office to see if quail or pheasant can survive on your property. That was one of the things we wanted to do when we moved here from Michigan, but it turns out that here in Hamilton County the conditions are not favorable for them. Which I guess is why there isn’t already a population of them. (We checked into pheasant, not quail, so maybe quail would work.)I used to raise and release Bob White Quail when I lived in Michigan and my oldest who is 10 would like to do that so maybe next year we will get into Quail and Pheasant
