I think I may have my first rooster. We usually get sexed chicks but wanted a Mille fleur d’uccle. We have 16 other breeds in our flock. I would love to try to hatch some eggs but I don’t know where to start & have so many questions. Can this little guy breed with other, larger breeds? Will I be...
