    Introducing chickens

    Hey y'all. I am new to chickens and am really wanting to add a couple more chickens to my flock and even thinking about adding a rooster. How do I do that successfully? I have a 8 nesting box chicken coop. And is there any rooster that is friendlier than other breeds? TIA
