I have two barred rocks I am watching right now. They have been staring down the crows this past afternoon. The crows have decided to eat the oatmeal that my hens did not eat.
Well, I do not have barreds but partridge color. Love them. They are free rangeing even in this cold weather. Past 2 nights its been in the 20's. My blog on mine tells more on them. I am only working with this color and breed right now. Depending on how this next year goes I might be expanding into the Buff Rocks.
