    Broody Hen and Baby Chicks

    Hello! I have an ISA Brown hen that has been acting broody for about a week. My small flock of three birds does not include a rooster. My neighbor has a gen sitting on eggs that should hatch this week, and he has offered me chicks. Would it be a good idea to try to get some chicks and introduce...

    Ideal Rooster

    I currently have three hens, and I'm looking to add either 2 more hens or a hen and a rooster. What are the ideal rooster breeds for mild temperament? Also, are there any that are less vocal than others? Thanks!

    Barred Rock or Dominique

    This is my BYC post! I've been reading threads since we started our flock earlier this year and just got around to joining! We just added this hen to our little flock and the man that we got her from was unsure if she's a barred rock or a Dominique (or Dominicker as we say in Tennessee). My best...
