I just recently learned of these. I was fine with 12 hens (maybe less)...but after seeing these, I’ve seriously had to fight the urge to “Just get a couple more”!
She’s a Barred Rock. They are the sweetest birds ever!!! I have 7 of them and 5 Golden Comets. I think if I ever get more chickens, I’ll go with Plymouth Rocks again. Maybe Barred again, but I’m really intrigued by the newer color. The Silver Pencilled Rock, I think they’re absolutely gorgeous!
They are all incredibly loud...I think the volume is meant to catch my attention inside the house...or maybe they’re just testing all my neighbors tolerance levels! Good thing for me I have plenty eggs for all my neighbors to thank them for their tolerance!
Be relentless! I swear, mostly it seems like a watched pot that just won’t boil!! I also think it helps that my girls are extremely comfortable & happy in my presence
Y’all just don’t know how long I’ve been trying to catch these on video! First one is the Egg Laying. Second one is the Egg Song to let the other ladies know she accomplished her goal and is coming back out to the flock.
