I baught 25 pullets and 2 roos 7 years ago. The first ones I hatched seem to have more stray black feathers, then i hatched 16 eggs out of second generation and they were all pure white.(all pullets) so the next genaration was out of thier uncle and about a 1/4 had stray black feathers. I am now...
I love barred rocks, my favorite breed. They do very well cooped or free range prolific layers of large eggs and are hilarious to watch.(my favorite past time)
