understand that. Maybe they just had a lot of extra BR/EE that hatch!
When we looked at Meyer for ordering chicks (early 2018), I noticed in the specific assortments (rare breed, brown layers, etc) that they would have at least so many different breeds in those assortments. We ordered some...
Our barred rocks are good and consistent layers. They are good assets to the flock too, higher in the pecking order, but not mean. Not broody either. We did not get them from Meyer, but BR are known to be good chickens overall.
