    New here

    I've googled and used info off this page so many times I figured I might as well join! I'm about a 10ish month chicken owner maybe less so far. Got eggs in an incubator already!

    We thought Barred Rock…

    But it simply doesn’t look like it to me! I have two “barred rock” chicks, but as their feathers begin to lengthen I see only gray and white. This is our first time keeping chickens and everything is going well (so far … knock on wood?). These chicks are the sweetest and fall asleep in your...

    Barred Rock Rooster and Leghorn Hen cross

    I wanted to show everyone pictures of my Lemon Swiss who is a cross from a Barred Rock Rooster and a Leghorn hen. she mostly looks like a leghorn but has some black patches. In my research I discovered they call them California whites sometimes.

    Sick 1.5 year old hen help—what to do next?

    My lead hen who was sick a few months ago is acting odd again; I treated the flock with corid and VetRx back in September but for the past few weeks Salt has been slower, eating less, and while she can walk normally has lost her balance and fallen when we put her down from being held and when...

    Can anyone post pictures of their barred rock eggs and of their bantam eggs we have a dark brauhma bantam and a porcelain that could be laying Trying to figure out if the brauhmas could be laying early by chance or if our barred rocks are just laying smaller and way lighter eggs compared to our...

    Definitely Not Important …

    Just a note. I have a Barred Rock and a Cuckoo Marans in my small flock. Everyone is 11 weeks old. I was calling the Cuckoo “Stumpy” because her tail is very short, always has been. The only differences between the two are the tail feathers and that Stumpy’s pattern has been more muted the...

I would integrate them with my...

    Rural King Chicks - What are they?

    So once again I feel like I have been duped by the hatchery that Rural King uses! These are my "teenagers" that are about 3 months old (born in April) I picked out and bought 4 Cuckoo Marans, 2 Sapphire Gems and 2 Easter Eggers. One of the EE died after a week so that is why I only have 1 now...

    New in Greenville SC

    Hello. First I’d like to say thanks to this forum for existing. 😄 Every time I Google a question this forum seems to have the best answer. I have some more questions and know I will continue to do so for awhile since I’m a 1st time chicken mom so I thought I’d come out of lurking. (1) Are you...

    Newbie!

    Good morning! I am a chicken newbie of one month. My mother raised ducks but I never liked them because they were mean to me as a toddler. We have three single-comb, brown leg, three Columbian Wyandotte, and two Barred Rock. The Wyandottes are the calmest. The three brown leg remind me of the...

    Barred rock buff rock cross

    So I’ve seen a lot of barred rock and buff Orpington crosses but I’m curious about a barred rock and buff Plymouth Rock cross. I’m sure someone has done it. Are the results about the same as the Orpington cross or are they slightly different. Just trying to satisfy my curiosity.

    Barred Rocks?

    Hello, I am brand new to chickens and picked up some barred rock pullets about a week ago. The seller said they hatched on April 3. Before we picked up the barred rock chickens, I committed to adopting a friends cockerel. The new cockerel is now home with us, and is separated in an adjacent...

    Vincentville Farm saying hello

    I am new to the world of backyard chickens. My first flock is now almost 19 weeks old. I started with 18 Barred Rock chickens. I lost one during the first hot day in their big coop. I was also gifted a Barred Rock/Easter Egger rooster (about a year old) and an Easter Egger hen (5 years old)...
