I love my Barred Rocks! They have a very fun personality! One of my BR hens is the leader of the pack. However, I have two and they are both very talkative and enjoy human contact. I have had the occasional young rooster and these girls are in charge. He has to be something special for them to give him a break. I love that they are strong willed but they can seem like bullies with the others sometimes. They aren't mean with the others, they just chase and talk at them. The others seem to get they are the boss fairly easily.

If I started over, I would definitely get Barred Rock. They are beautiful to look at in the yard! They are fun to listen to and they are loving hens that enjoy contact with their humans. They are also great layers. Nearly every day I get a beautiful rock egg.

One went broody and she has taken a break after I broke her broody. I fully believe when she starts up again I will get lovely daily eggs from her!

Love them!

I LOVE my results from the Nutrena Naturewise feeds. I use the Chick Starters (Medicated and non-medicated) and Meatbird religiously for my laying chicks and Cornish X. I sometimes switch up for my layers with what my local feed store has in stock, but it is always Nutrena that I buy. My chickens are just so happy and healthy that I can't imagine feeding them anything else. Well besides the kitchen yummies, meal worms and garden goodies that they get too.
