New from Indiana!

Hey there everyone! My boyfriend and I are brand spankin new to owning chicks and are super excited! We have 12 babies...5 RIR's, 6 Black Australorp's (3 straight run's-we'll see what we get!) and 1 fiesty Buff Orphington. All 5 RIR's & 3 Australorp pullets are about 3.5 weeks old. The other 3 Australorp's are about 5.5 weeks old and the Buff is 4 weeks. They are growing at a crazy rate! They will soon be introduced to their coop. I am glad to have found this site because there is sooo much good information on here! Talk with ya'll soon! Have a great day!

Welcome to BYC!

So glad you could join our community! Sounds like you have a very nice flock. You are going to love the Black Australorps. Very friendly birds, docile, great layers and quite healthy over all. If you have any questions about anything, that is what we are here for. Welcome to our flock!

Hello and Welcome To BYC! Sounds like you'll have a really nice flock that should lay you a lot of eggs, hope the BAs are all girls for you! Be sure to check out the BYC Learning Center, lots of good articles on all aspects of chicken keeping. https://www.backyardchickens.com/atype/1/Learning_Center and it is always fun to check out your state thread for chicken keeping neighbors https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/730582/indiana-bycers-here/9670
