    Barred Rock lovers thread

    Hi! I couldn't find a thread for people with BRs, so here's one. I know a lot of people on here own BRs/have owned BRs at some point. This thread is for BR lovers ONLY, please do not come here to make fun of them. I currently have one BR, Henny Penny (picture heavy):

    Hello!

    Just wanted to pop on here and share my BO and BO/BR mixed chicks that I got from a farmer friend and let my broody hen hatch! I have three grown chickens but we’re looking to expand our flock. Excited to see how these little ones turn out! Anyone have experience with Orpington and Barred rock...

    Who’s Your Daddy?

    I have 8 baby chicks that were sired (proper term?) by a Barred Rock or a Sliver Laced Polish. I’m fairly certain about the hens each chick came from. If y’all could help me identify a sire and/or gender I’d be very greatful! (I’ll post updated pics in about 6 weeks-if I remember, lol). They all...

    Barred rock chick

    What gender do you think this little one is? It’s only a day old, but I heard you can tell by the dots on their heads and their legs. Sorry for the lighting! I can get better photos if requested.

    Do I have a roo? Barred Rock

    I picked up a few of these littles last week at my local farm supply. Was "told" they were all pullets, but the more I watch the lighter one, I'm convinced he's a roo. I need an expert eye to confirm before I have to give him away. Tried to capture the white spot on the head, lack of...

    Male or Female Barred Rock

    I’m wondering if this chick is a hen or a rooster. She (or he) is definitely bigger than my other barred rock chick. All my chicks are supposedly 4 weeks old. First two pics are the one I suspect to be a roo, second two are the smaller chick. Thanks for the help!

    Barred Rock Bullying

    Good day. We have a flock of 11 hens 11 months old. 5 Barred Rock and 6 RIR’s. The BR’s are chasing the RID’s off the feed and water. One RIR is picked on by all the birds. We tried sprays, peepers and separation but the Barred Rock just won’t stop picking on the Reds. Our coop is 8 x 10 and...

    Chicks first night in coop

    I have some new chicks that are about five and a half weeks old. They’ve been staying in my room with me since I got them, but what I had them in was getting a bit too small for them. I put them in the run tonight with the big girls in a dog crate. I’m going to introduce them using the playpen...

    Which is which?

    Two eggs hatched today. The father of both is barred rock but one mother is ISA brown and the other is Cinnamon Queen. Can you tell me which is which?

    Newest baby!

    The first of the eggs our Malia is sitting in have hatched! This one is the cross of a black cochin mother and barred rock father. Any name suggestions?

    Chicks going away from the heat source. Why?

    I now have 3 Barred Rocks because I sadly lost one to unknown events. One thing I realize from my Barred rocks is that they tend to stray away to the heat lamp. They are only 4 days old so they should need a lot of warmth, yet they are going away from their source of heat. I'm thinking my 4th...

    Sold as "AZURE" mix?(+ the rest for fun) 5 week picutre for now (WILL UPDATE)

    Just to be clear, I understand it is probably too early to tell what sex these dudes are, I have my guesses, but I'm a total noob when it comes to chickens. I'm mostly curious what this chicken (chicken #1) really is because I have a feeling like "azure" isn't actually a recognized breed. I...
