    4 Week Barred Rock - Gender Guesses

    So now that my BR is 8 weeks old, I do think I have a pullet on my hands! What do y’all think?! Although still pretty red, her comb hasn’t really changed much and she seems to have grown into it more.

    4 Week Barred Rock - Gender Guesses

    So I figured I’d keep y’all updated as my BR develops and I feel like I’m still on the fence (but maybe that’s just my denial!). I looked back at pics when my BR was younger, and it’s hard to tell with the dot on her head what she could really be. It’s large but seems well-defined and...

    4 Week Barred Rock - Gender Guesses

    Hello! I have a wonderful four week old BR who has become the lead hen of our little flock. She’s definitely fiesty and tries to keep the chicks in line but she’s also incredibly sweet to us humans. As she’s growing, I am noticing that her comb is a bit pronounced and pink already as compared to...
