Very interesting indeed! Sounds like I have some reading to do, always new stuff to learn with chickens.

I didn't know you could get dwarf chickens, very interesting to see him. I hope he's with you a long time too, he's a lucky boy to have a good home.

Hi all, just wanted to let you all know I finally have the answer to whether or not my roo is pure barred rock. Apparently not. He's throwing the expected black and black barred chicks but also little yellow and buff ones! They are from Silver Grey Dorking hens and have barring so they are...

Oh wow! Those are beautiful.

Thank you for your replies. He's my favorite cockerel so I hope the color does sort it's self out. If he's good enough I'd like to get him some girls. If not he can stay with the layers. He is from a breeder, we don't have hatcheries like you do in the USA. I just don't know the quality of...

Hello all I finally got some updated pics of my boy though he didn't want to co-operate. I'd like to know what's going on with his wings. They look odd and not nearly as nice as all the ones on here. Is it just sun damage? We've just gone through summer here and he has been in the sun a bit...

Hi everyone, Pages ago someone posted idea weights for 12wo BR roos and I can't find it now. I want to see how my boy is doing. Could whoever posted it please kingly post it again? Thank you Also, my boy still hasn't grown in all his feathers, when can I expect him to be fully dressed? He...

Wow Kathy!

Quote: I can see that working. Bonus if you had a nice splash roo, over bared hens you would get 100% solid blue pullets. Being sexlinks you'll know how many girls you have at hatching too

Quote: No one has any thoughts on him? He's the only PR I've raised and would really value the opinions of experienced breeders. (I won't be upset if you say he's terrible.) EDIT to ad, those are beautiful Punky! He might turn out to be a ok bird. He has good yellow legs. His chick barring...

Quote: He was given to me after my friend's broody was killed by a dog and she couldn't look after the chicks. She got them from a 'breeder'. (Likely backyard hatchery setup) The chicks were supposed to be from show quality parents... I have my doubts. I think she was mislead about their...

I have some new pics of my little roo. What do people think of him now? He's around 8wo in these pics. Is that split breast? Or does it just look odd because he's taking forever to grow all his feathers? I'd planed to get some girls for him because I really like him but I don't want to breed...

Thank you and yes, I'm a bit impatient. lol He'd be about 5 1/2 to 6 weeks old now, I'm not sure exactly when he was hatched as I got him between 1 - 2 weeks old and my friend wasn't sure exactly how old they were when she got them. (Dog attack killed her broody so she passed the chicks to me...

Hi there, Got a better pic of my Rock chick. Question is, pure with bad barring or crossbred? He's sweet so even if he is a cross he will probably get to hang around with the layers if he's a good boy. Thank you

Hello everyone. I'm new to the forum and have only one little barred rock but it is by far my favorite chick. It has such a friendly personality I defiantly want more! I think it's around 5 weeks old now (got from a friend, when the chicks were between 1 - 2 weeks old) and is the biggest of my...
