Reading through the thread, is XW poultry ranch the best place to order heritage barred rocks? I am looking for the ones with docile roosters, slow to mature, heavier birds for dual purpose. I am in San Diego county California. At this point I would like up to 12 or so as I am also hatching other breeds.Are there closer places or is this the best route to go? Anyone else in my area with heritage barred rocks?

Thanks we ordered 4 and one died so I think it was the rooster.

I'm in the Akron Canton area but we ordered from my pet chicken out of Connecticut. We ordered a rooster and 3 hens then 2 days after we got them one was drinking and the others stepped on it and it drown at 4 days old. I was hoping it wasn't the rooster so I have been very anxious on weather or not our rooster was one of the 3 we have out of the 4. Anyways I guess if not we will get one in the spring

. So what's the difference between the hens pattern and the roosters pattern. I know the roosters tend to be a lighter color

Hens have a broader black band with smaller white bands. The boys have more white showing in their barring.
