    One of my NN hens hatched a single chick on Christmas day. The father is a D'uccle. I am trying to find a couple more to put in with her so the little chick won't be all alone. The little chick has some feathering on it's legs and has muffs and beard.

    I have 9 week old d'uccles. Yesterday several of the little roos kept fighting. They weren't just chest bumping, they drew blood. A couple of combs were bleeding and you could see where they were pecking each other around the eyes! I tried removing the one that I thought was instigating the...
