Quick update on my Barred rock roster Wilf....he crowed this morning... well it was a weird sort of crow that was very out of tune and very low sounding.

Just a quick update on Wilf my Barred rock cockerel, he's still not crowed but over the past few days he's started to dance in front of the hens and has tried to mate with my light sussex hen. He still gets told off by the other hens but am I right in thinking that will change wants he's fully...

Yeah he is a he and a very pretty he at that! Well maybe you are just really lucky, lets hope he never crows:) ( unless you want him to ). I would like him to crow every now and again as I live in a fairly rural area so it wouldn't matter.

I've owned Barred rock, Speckled Sussex, Light Sussex, Appenzeller, Cream legbar and Indian game. I have found Indian game to be the most docile and friendly of the lot with great personalities. Only down side is that they aren't great layers but defiantly worth having around. I lost my Indian...

My boy has never attempted to crow and he seems really chilled out and very friendly. I really hope he doesn't change too much. Is it possible that if he's got to 25 weeks without crowing he may never crow?

Do Barred Rock cockerels take longer to mature? My boy is around 25 weeks old now and he's never crowed or tried to mount a hen.

Thank you. He's really friendly and follows me around the garden but he hasn't started crowing yet. I thinks he's around 24weekd old now and haven't heard him make much noise at all.

In that picture there's a Plymouth barred rock roster and hen along with a light sussex hen.

Hi guys, Why is one of my hens consintly looking to try and peck feathers from my others hens and eat them?? Any help would be great!!!

I think he's around 18 weeks old now.

This is my young Barred rock roster!!
