Oh Mrs. Chickendad, I am so sorry. I have been somewhat absent from BYC lately and hadn't realized what happened to Barbara and friends/flock. I am so very very sorry. Because of Barbara I ordered two barred rocks with our first flock. Amelia, a BR, was our first flyer but at about a year she developed some strange disease where she would fall over and stumble around. I spent many hours nursing her and we became fast friends. She still loves to sit on my lap and I think she is one of the best pets I have ever owned. I owe that all to you and Barbara. If your writing hadn't been so engaging, and Barbara so fantastic I don't think I would have ever had barred rocks in my flock. And as it stands Amelia and Bubbles (EE) are the hands down favorites. Thank you so much for your writing and for your heart and for giving Barbara the life that any chicken would have loved to have. Again, my condolences.
