I have three Nankin hens and would like to find them a rooster and possibly some baby sisters. My hens are single comb but rose comb is fine. I do not show or breed chickens they will strictly be for pets. I am located in southern Iowa. Chicks would be ideal but would consider healthy older...
My first mystery chick was a buttercup roo who is now 9 weeks old. The little one is 5 weeks old and because of similar coloring and leg color I thought she was a buttercup too. BUT now I see a huge difference in her comb so she can't be a buttercup, she is sporting a single comb from what I...

I have 16 chicks, 8 in each container. I have had them for one week and have not mixed the chicks up from one tote to the other. My question is: Should I be mixing them up every time I clean out their bedding so they will all be used to each other?
I am a newbie, so this may sound silly. I just got some chicks the other day and one of my Barred Rocks consistently attacks and bites when I stick my hand in the brooder near her or when I pick her up. She is biting, not pecking and it doesn't hurt now but she is still tiny. Should I be...
Wondering what this little Gal/Guy may be. Got it yesterday from McMurray Hatchery as the Free Rare breed. It kind of looks like it could be a Buttercup but not sure. The cheeks are not puffy.
