Very Curious

Pros: Intelligent, curious, brave and sweet

Cons: not sure yet

I have 1 Barred Rock, and she is about 5-6 weeks old. From the very beginning, she was always the first to to come to hand when I offered food, and always looked concerned if you picked up a chick and it started making noise.  I thought for a while that maybe she was a he, but I have to the conclusion that she is the biggest, and the leader of the pack

We have about 40 barred rock hens. They are very friendly, quiet birds....unless you have treats and they think they should have some. One hen in particular, comes to my patio door and if I have the shade pulled up and the door open she will stand up tall and look in and start "telling" me that she would like something tasty to eat. :)

That is great. My hen is about 22 weeks old, and is still the biggest, and in my opinion, the most beautiful. She hasnt started laying yet :( But Im sure she will start soon. She goes and sits in a box everyday, and then when I walk in, she hops down and looks from me to the box, like she wants me to look for the invisible egg she layed. She is a great bird to have
