    Barred Rocks - Long tail pullet? Or late comb, dark rooster?

    Thanks so much for your opinions. I'm so glad they're going to be egg layers, I would hate to have had to take them back, I've grown attached to her! I love her tail too, an extra pretty lady I think! Winter has just started for proper here (New Zealand) so we might not get eggs till spring...

    Barred Rocks - Long tail pullet? Or late comb, dark rooster?

    The neck feathers are quite thin and sort of spike out when she/he gets annoyed. I can't see any saddle feathers, though there are some skinny little feathers there, but they seem to be where the feather has frayed in two at the end. She's always been the grouchy stand-offish chicken and so...

    Barred Rocks - Long tail pullet? Or late comb, dark rooster?

    They are 18 weeks now. They were from a batch (hatch?) that were all really dark.

    Barred Rocks - Long tail pullet? Or late comb, dark rooster?

    Okay, I promise this is the last time I'll ask! I posted on here about two weeks ago and everyone thought my PBR lovelies were girls. But I can't get past this girl's tail and every time I see her I think "you are so a boy!" - though everything else says "girl". The first one is of her sister

    barred rock mystery

    Hello, I'm following up a previous post with more pictures. Thanks so much for your opinions on my plymouth barred rocks. Someone asked for more photos. I would be so pleased if these were pullets as one person suggested. I have arranged to take them back on Friday as I was so sure they were...

    A wobbly start!

    Hello I'm a new chicken keeper from NZ. I've built a slightly rickety but warm chicken coop and now we have four lovely 'chickens' to wander around the garden with us. I've been trawling through pictures of roosters and hens as I think my first flock of chickens are at least 50% roosters! I...

    Hello! I hope you guys can help me out! I have had my first flock of chickens for a month and I'm a bit concerned at least half are roosters. They are now about fifteen weeks I think - 2 plymouth barred rock (I think these are both roosters based on their tail feathers?), a black orpington...
