Hello! I recently bought barred rock chicks locally to add to my flock. My intentions are to breed them because barred rocks are my favorite and no one has them in my area.
Anyway, now I’m worried that I may have quite a few sex links. But I don’t know much about them to say for sure! I have 2-3 (out of 22) that have black heads. They have barring on the wings and are also much larger than the rest of them despite being from the same clutch…
I doubt they are all sex links (or I just don’t want to believe I have 19-20 roosters ). I do think most of them are barred rocks based on how I’ve been able to sex them fairly easily.
Anyway, any thoughts on breed??
