    Barred Rock Gender?

    I don't know if others would agree but when I buy barred rocks from a straight run, I have learned that the males are lighter in color. They seems to be more silver/black as they start to feather out. The spot on their heads are irregular too if they could be male. It is difficult to tell by...

    Mostly white chicken with white legs

    Wind!

    I live in a windy area too. It is great for ventilation but not so good for keeping a coop draft-free. A tarp is fine as protection from the elements.

    I'm thinking this chicken is 12-16 weeks old. Also--most likely a roo. Any ideas on the breed?
