[chick pics!] Poultry n00b - any age guesses on these BR & RIR chicks? - Page 2

post #11 of 12

For the record, all pure Barred Rocks have the dots on their heads. Some people can sex them by the size/uniformity of the dots and the wash on their legs, but it is never 100%. The only time BR are sex-linked is if they are ACTUAL black sex links. In that case, the boys have dots and end up barred rocks and the females are solid.

 

Black Sex-Link, Black Star, etc = 500

Proudly owned by 8 horses, one moody red hen and an enormous mixed flock of at least 25 different breeds, 1 turkey tom, 14 ducks, 6 dogs (3 rescues looking for loving homes) and 5 cats.
