Hello, I'm new to the chicken world so a lot of common sense that chicken people have I might lack. That being said I recently rescued a rooster I'm told he is around 6 months of age. I couldn't find a home for him so we keep him bought a Chicken coop that has 3 nesting boxes we also put up a pen for him, I'm told he needs a couple of hens, I'm told pullets around the same age. I've got the word out with local farms and friends that raise chickens but so far no luck. I've only had the rooster for a week. I do think he is lonely he will follow the dogs along the fence line and seems very comfortable with the dogs, cats and people not much seem to phase him. I'm told he looks like he is a mix of Rhode Island red and something else. I'm looking for info on possible where to buy pullets and what breed to buy for a first time owner. I live in the Northeast in RI we do get snow and a few cold days but nothing extreme. Any ideas or info would be appreciated
Thanks
Thanks
