    Are These Barred Rocks Purebred?

    The hens will have darker legs and the roos brighter. That's 1 way to tell them apart. Another way being the roos have an extra barring gene so they'll have more white feathering.

    Broody question

    I can't! I counted days from when she first started sitting. That would be a June 23 hatch day. She didn't stay on them though should I count from when she hasn't left them?

    I don't have a pic but the chick did have a lot of fuzz on it's feet and legs way more than other feather footed chicks. It was really light colored it was very close to the color of my white polish I got at the same time.

    Bantam I.D. help

    It's a hoover hatchery bird. I ordered online through tractor supply. Should I have gotten a mixed bird from a bantam assortment?

    I really thought this was a buff cochin bc the feather feet and yellowish/ tan color it started with.

    Sick 3 week old bantam

    I don't keep the light on them during the day. We had temps in the 90s with heat index over 100 I was afraid they would be way too hot.
