Thanks for the replies. The seller claimed that chickens (or his chicken) would live 7 years or so.
He's real nice rooster. And he was looking slam full up horny with one of the hens he had never met (or that was my perception, and I bet I was right) on the first day.
Do Barred Rock roosters...
I bought my first chickens over the weekend, including a beautiful 3-year-old Barred Rock rooster.
I noticed yesterday that he only has one spur. Do spurs get knocked off? Do they ever grow back?
