My chickens are 2 months old and the barred rock is making me sad because I'm pretty sure it's a roo. Co-worker says pullet but I the tail feathers seem too floppy to me. I feel like barred rocks have me guessing for such a long time. Also have a chicken with no tail feathers... It was labeled a Sapphire Gem and I've never had that breed before so I have no idea but other people's Sapphire Gems have tail feathers. I know they are a made up "new breed" so maybe they get them later? No idea. They will be 3 months on the 19th of this month.
