    Barred rock chicken...hen or rooster??

    Does this picture look odd to anyone? I just want to make sure it's not getting sick. We're dropping them off on Saturday, but of course I don't want anything to fall through the cracks! Any reason why it would be squatting like that frequently? I've noticed it more today than before...again...

    Barred rock chicken...hen or rooster??

    Thanks for everyone's input... I found a home for our chickens! We will drop them off together... The one that doesn't crow is starting to squat so I'm thinking it might be a hen. I'm hoping it's not just sick? It's super hot out here, and she sits down under the shade. She'll jump up and start...

    Barred rock chicken...hen or rooster??

    Thank you!! I have heard a horror story about the collar during the summer time in south Florida as the roosters can't pant safely. A lady I met had two roosters die because of this... Any advice? Ultimately, I think we're going To rehome anyway. They would probably enjoy a nice farm in central...

    Barred rock chicken...hen or rooster??

    I was looking at the second one today (the one that doesn't crow) and it's starting to get these really pretty hunter green tail feathers in.. Does that help the cockerel case??

    Barred rock chicken...hen or rooster??

    If we have a hen and a rooster, would you all be expecting him to start trying to mount her? And today, when they were walking back in towards their coop, they faced each other and puffed up their neck feathers. It just lasted for a few seconds, and nothing more has happened. Does that mean...

    Barred rock chicken...hen or rooster??

    Ok so let's say we have two roosters (and no eggs to at least appease our neighbors!)... How strict do cities tend to be? We definitely have a no crowing rooster policy in the city.. Any input on this from anyone?

    Barred rock chicken...hen or rooster??

    This is our other one. They're about the same size now.. what do you think? Do we have two boys? Haven't heard any crowing yet from this one.

    Barred rock chicken...hen or rooster??

    Thank you, I'll post a picture when I get home of our other little one. This may be a long shot, but any tips you have to prevent mating? It seems to defeat the purpose of separating them if the main reason we're having a hard timing parting with them is because we want them to stay together...

    Barred rock chicken...hen or rooster??

    Yes we got some more crowing this morning, I think it's a done deal. Just throwing this question out there.... We know the two are siblings. If the other one is a hen, is there any chance they won't partner up with each other? I'm not sure if incest works the same way in the animal world as the...

    Barred rock chicken...hen or rooster??

    Hi everyone! We are new to the chicken arena, but having so much fun with our kiddos :) A couple of months ago, my fiance brought home two chicks from a coworker's farm..they were probably a few weeks old at the time. We had no clue about the sex (or breed!) for awhile. We're thinking they are...
