In the springtime, there are a lot of places that you can buy chickens. You can get them at any farm store, most hardware stores, and maybe pet stores I don't know. Check in your area.

Any breed can get along with Rhode Island Reds. But you can only intruduce this other breed and more chickens when they are little. If you don't do that, there will be severe fighting with the chickens.

Cocks, which are male chickens, typically live on farms, in rural areas, or sometimes in urban settings where backyard chickens are kept. They share their living space with hens (female chickens) and are often kept in coops or chicken pens. These coops provide shelter, protection, and a place for roosting at night.
Battery chickens, the chickens used in egg production, are kept in battery cages. These are tiny cages with very little room for the chicken. They are kept in conditions that would shock most people who eat their eggs. Bright, artificial lights are used to simulate daylight, to make them lay more than they would in natural conditions. They can barely move in their cages, are kept separate from other chickens, and do not have freedom or any kind of natural conditions to live in. Free-range eggs are eggs from free-range chickens, chickens kept in natural conditions- normal lighting, better food, and room to move around. While battery chickens produce more eggs per chicken with less room, the chickens themselves need better care than that, or so many people think.
No. Perdue chickens are kept in warehouses, injected with antibiotics, fed GMO corn, shocked to death, and beaten regularly.
