I have 4 barred rock hens and love them all! Oreo was the first out of 16 chickens (5 different breeds) to lay an egg. She is at the top of pecking order, and will learn quickly. She layed one egg, stopped for a week, and has been laying one every day since.

Next there is Domino, who was second to lay eggs. She is almost like Oreo's twin, because they have very similar combs and wattles. She likes to get very close to the camera and peck at it, so it's hard to take a picture of her.

Then comes Blackberry, who was my favorite as a chick, because she would flap alot in the brooder.

And lastly, Nugget. She is my favorite chicken and is always curious. She learns fast, is very cute, and likes to cuddle. She will comes to you if you call her, and overall has a cute personality. She was the first ever to give us a double yolker! She is very sweet and tame.

I LOVE BARRED ROCKS!! They are a must for every flock. Cold hardy, sweet, lots of eggs, and great foragers!
