How to breed chickens

[billdane]

This may be a dumb question but I have a barred rock rooster and and a dozen pure breed assorted hens. If I hatch the barred rock females eggs will they still be barred rocks? And I assume all the other will just be mixed breeds if I hatch theirs?

That is correct. As long as the only roo is a BR, he will be the father of any chicks. The chicks from the BR hens will therefore be pure BR.
