This is indeed what a Barred Rock is supposed to look like. Folks get touchy and maybe offended if you say too very much about their feed store/hatchery Barred Rocks. The point is quite simple. Yes, what is sold AS as Barred Rock simply has been juiced up. The Mediterranean influence is obvious to the experienced eye. Thus, the birds often lay eggs at an astounding rate. Nothing wrong with having these birds. We've had lots of them. Nothing at all. But they aren't really Barred Rocks as you found out from a judge.
Yes, this is a Barred Rock female. No judge would ever pin that sign on her.
