She looks great Cyn. Mine are still looking really good too. My second generation is coming along nicely. I should have 10 more pullets this year. Everybody raves about how nice they look compared to the hatchery lines.

Adding a few pics, the wind was blowing so their feathers may look a little weird.

Cyn, my stukel line pullets I got from you have recently started laying too. I've got 3 eggs in the bator to see if my boy is doing his job.

Some pics of my Stukel line barred rocks. They weren't exactly in a photogenic mood today so not exactly the best poses.

At first glance I would say roo, but it's really too early to tell. His legs are kind of in between and I've been fooled by the spot on the head before. A couple more weeks should tell you more.

A few contradictions for that chick. Based on the spot and comb I'd say roo but the feathering is too dark and not enough barring. Are you sure it's not a mix of some kind?

My girls and one guy are coming along nicely. All Stukel line Barred Rocks from hatching eggs from Speckledhen.

I agree. I didn't think my Barred Rock chicks would ever feather out and I understand it takes much longer for them to start laying than the hatchery types. But, I think the wait is well worth it. I've described some of the hatchery types that I have as fast food chickens. They develop fast and...

I took some pics of the Stukel line barred rocks I got from speckledhen today. They sure are lookin purdy.

Yes, to put it simply a rock is a rock. There are just different types and colors. Barred Rocks, Columbian Rocks, White Rocks, Partridge Rocks and several others, but they're all plymouth rocks.

I've got 10 columbian rock chicks so far from hatching eggs I got from Scott (yard full of rocks).

Very much. How often can you get a majority of pullets and only one roo? They are the prettiest barred rocks I've ever had. I loved my hatchery barred rocks but they just don't compare to these.

These guys are almost 8 weeks old. They're looking great.

Cyn, in case you were wondering how Dottie's and Rex's offspring were doing: Also I definitely have a roo in the bunch. We've also decided the names. Rocky, Roxxane, Barbie. Barbarella and Sbaro

I had a barred rock roo that only had the use of one leg. We named him pogo . He got around just fine and managed to climb the ramp into the coop everynight. He died of pnemonia one winter but he live a good 2 years.

Yeah, that's the guy I've got my eye on. I'm not going to know for sure for at least another month.

Update on the Stukel line barred rocks I got from Speckled hen. I still have no clue if I have a roo in here or not but they're all looking good.

And they're so photogenic.

She's looking just like her sisters.

Here's a pic of the last little guy. I didn't think he was going to make it after I had to help him out of the shell but he came around and looks pretty good now. That makes 5 total.
