New to the chicken thing

[Redmannthumper]

Hello every one. I'm Alley. I was given a Rhode island rooster about a month ago. His owners thought he would be a hen but surprise surprise. He was bullied by the other rooster. I also have two hens I have no idea what kind they are o e is black one is white. I was told they 've two more months before the lay eggs. I have never owned chickens or roosters. My hobbies include crafts, home improvement projects and work.
