We got our Barred Rock out of a bin that said they were bantams. How would we know if she’s really a bantam? She seems to be about the same size as our other chickens. She started laying last week, her eggs are fairly small but again I don’t know if that’s just because she’s a new layer or what...
I am a new chicken mama. My chickens have been laying and playing nicely for several months now. Last week I got one soft shelled egg. Now I have gotten one two days in a row. I have no idea who is laying them. I have 17 barred rocks who are all the same age but came into laying at different...
I have two Barred Rocks who are almost 7 weeks. I think that they are pullets. Any help would be appreciated since I would need to rehome any roosters.
I know it is too early to tell, but this chick has a lot of the visual markers that indicate it is male! This chick was vent sexed and labelled a pullet.
Barred Rock male chicks have the following:
1) A large white spot on head
2) Less black on legs
Barred Rock female chicks have the...

I know that it can take up to a year for hens to fully grow…But I was curious if my breeder bought Barred Rock Hens (born in June 2021) will be smaller than my TSC Barred Rock Hen (born in April 2021)?
My TSC hen is very large, and her tail is almost completely upright.

Hi there!
In April 2021 I bought two Barred Rock ‘pullets’, to add to my flock.
Four months later, my two Barred Rock look a bit different from each other. One has a small pink comb, and the other’s wattles, comb, and overall face is completely developed and red!
This morning, I saw my more...

Hello everyone!
I'm a brand new chicken owner and proudly raising 6 hens ( 3 barred rock and 3 light brahmas ). I just found this website through a google search and am looking to share my story with other chicken owners and learn about how to best take care of these chickens .
Thanks...
The jury is still out on this one. Every day I change my mind as to whether or not “Brody Junior“ is a boy or a girl. He/she is approximately 15 weeks old. I have attached two pictures; The first picture is the one I am not sure about (BR on the Right) and the second pic is of my female at the...
I currently have a flock of Light Brahma chickens (3 hens 2 roosters that get along well). I was looking to raise some Barred Rock chicks to add to my flock. I read somewhere that Barred Rock hens are docile and get along well with others but the roosters don't and are very aggressive. Is this true?
I have 5 Barred rock chickens, born around end of June, beginning of July. I want to have a small number of chickens this winter. They are free to a good home. If you don’t live to far, I will deliver. From Stafford ct.
