It's almost funny when I go out in the yard and the chickens come tearing across the yard straight for me! I always have a treat for them. They squat down and love to be held. They love cantaloupe seeds and leftover corn.
My barred rock is probably a mix breed, which is fine. She was part of a young man's breed project. She is only 8 weeks. Will edit when I know more about her.
Love them, calm, friendly, excellent layers, but mine have been rough on the younger ones, but only for a short time. I would have more if I had room!
I have one Barred rock who has such a expressive face, it makes me laugh everytime I look at her! They are hardy in the winter and are great egg layers, they lay medium brown eggs. Very friendly and docile, but it all depends on how you raise them. I highly recomend this breed for anyone who wants chickens, its just a plain beautiful bird with a great personality.
Breed Details: I have found that this breed is friendlier than other breeds, mine always come running and they imprinted as chicks. My partridge Rock will even let me pick her up; very docile. More active then breeds such as Leghorns, EE, and RIR. They are a hardy breed that can withstand quite a bit. I have also noticed that they also grow bigger, faster than most breeds do. Also great layers of large brown eggs and will sometimes become broody and be great mothers. |
