I love my barred rock Layla! She has always been my best egg layer and the top hen in my flock. She is always willing to try new things, and is the first to try a new or unusual treat. She is very friendly and outgoing, and is not scared of me at all. One con about my barred rock is that when I introduced new younger chickens or when one of my chickens was injured, she was the most aggressive towards them and picks on them, but that is just a part of being the top hen. I have since trained her not to peck and don't have a problem with her anymore. Overall, she is a great bird!
