    Barred Rock Pullet?

    This is one of my 6 week old chicks from Meyer Hatchery. We got a straight run of brown egg layer assortment. I'm thinking this is a female barred rock. Anyone aggree or disagree?

    Barred Rock Roo?

    First, I know it is early and you really can't know for sure till they're much older. But, the research I've done so far on Barred Rocks makes it seem like males are pretty easy to pick out pretty quickly. From everything I've seen, my 3.5 week Eleanor is looking more like an Elmer. He's the...

    Barred Rock Gender

    Hi everyone! I had posted about my barred rock supposedly pullet a couple weeks ago and got mixed responses on whether she was a pullet or cockerel. She is 7 weeks tomorrow and just wanted to hear your thoughts. My guess is pullet since that’s what we bought her as. Also she doesn’t look to me...

    7 of 25 Laying

    I have gathered 25 laying hens over the past couple of months. 9 were younger pullets and the rest were laying prior to me acquiring them. I am getting 5-7 eggs a day. Is this normal? They have access to oyster shell and get layer crumbles.

    Photos of Heritage Barred Rocks from Meyer Hatchery?

    Does anyone have Heritage Barred Rocks from Meyer Hatchery? I'm thinking of ordering from Meyer just so I can get a Heritage Barred Rock rooster. I'm wanting to show my chickens through my school's FFA and I think it might be worth the extra money to start off with a chicken that better fits the...

    Putting chicks outside

    I'm in ohio. It's currently in the 40s with lows getting down into the 20s for a few more days still as I'm finishing up the coop and run. They are barred rocks and are 7 weeks. Will be about 8 by the time the coop is finished up. They have plenty of space still where they are I'm just ready for...

    Barred rock or sex link?

    I bought this chick from rural king as a barred rock but I’m definitely second guessing this. She looks to be a black star sex link to me? I know time will tell but just curious on your thoughts?
