barred rock

    So confused! What do I have here?

    Super newbie chick mama! I have what I was told was a BR pullet from a farm store bin. I got her/he with a bunch of mixed breeds that are all within days apart. It immediately grew to be almost twice the size as the others and has never really stayed hunched over, I barely caught the pic I...

    Hen or Roo? Barred rock mix chicks - 8 weeks old

    Hi, These guys were supposed to be cuckoos, due to the feet coloration we are thinking more barred rock, but I was told due to some of the coloration they don't appear pure bred and are probably mixed. Most from TSC, red banded chick is from rural king. Around 8 weeks old as of Yesterday...

    Orange County, CA Re-homing Hens

    We are downsizing our flock! We have some healthy and actively laying two year old Barred Rock and Rhode Island Red hens that we are looking to rehome in the next month or so. Anyone interested?

    Are my California White and Barred Rock roos?

    Alright so hi I'm new and I know this is a constantly asked question. I am 98% sure the California is a Roo but the Barred has me stumped. I have 3 Barred. One is FOR sure a Roo and one is for sure a Hen. But this one has some characteristics of both. So what do you guys think? The first couple...

    Sapphire Sky, Jubilee Orpington, Barred Rock, Salmon Faverolle 6-9 weeks old roo/cockerel or pullet (and Sapphire sky question)

    Hi! We have four alleged pullets which were all allegedly hatched on April 1 and 3 (so about 9 weeks ago). The Jubilee Orpington (JO), Barred Rock (BR), and Salmon Faverolle (SF) all were picked up when they were allegedly 10-12 days old, but I really have some doubts that the SF was as old as...

    5 week Barred Rock Male or Female

    What do you think? Male or female? Larger than the silkie and blue laced red wyandotte around the same age. Comb much more pronounced.

    Barred Rock vs. Malines Rooster?

    Hi BYC family! I am looking to replace my rooster (my sweet Randy was lost to a raccoon about 2 weeks ago) I live in an area with HEAVY predator pressure - main offenders are owls, hawks, foxes, raccoons, and coyotes. Since Randy died, I’ve already had 3 hens get eaten by a Fox 😣 So I’m looking...

    Does my 5.5 week barred rock look like a pullet to you?

    I recently read that your favorite chick always ends up being a cockerel. Well just as soon as I decided she was my favorite, I also realized she is quite a bit larger than her other barred rock sister (and way friendlier) which makes me nervous!! I’d love to get your opinions.

    Did Tractor Supply sell me me roos?!

    First time chicken owner here! I got 3 Barred Rock pullets from Tractor Supply. I got them 3 weeks ago. Based off the countless hours I’ve researched, I’m 100% sure the darkest one is a pullet, she’s smaller and very sweet with a dark leg wash. Her tail feathers came in first and she has the...

    Age old question, barred rock pullet or cockerel?

    Hi everyone! This is Bagels, she is from a repeatable hatchery and should be a she…but I am concerned due to her patterning she is looking more like a He! 4 weeks old…too early to tell? She got her tail feathers VERY early but I don’t have any other BR’s to compare her too! THANK YOU! ☺️ I love...

    Rocky: The rooster who loves killing hawks.. mating with hens.. and eating blueberries.

    No vent holes on chinese incubator

    I have a 35$ cheapo incubator for my first hatch, 10 out of 12 eggs have embryos and I'm on day 18. I've seen reviews of this one with fluffy chicks running around inside that also had ducks in the same batch so I think I'm good but there's no obvious ventilation. Unless the lip around the dome...

    Hmmm… things aren’t lining up. Barred Rock, Cuckoo Marans, or Dominique?

    Hello there chicken experts! I have three 5 week old chickens I’m unsure about and would love to hear your thoughts… Chickens #2 and #3 are supposed to be Cuckoo Marans (pullets)… or so they were labeled. I’m beginning to think they’re actually Dominiques. Their combs and leg color aren’t...

    Guess the dad: Barred Rock or Black Australorp on Sapphire Gem hens

    I was "sure" that by the time we incubated fresh eggs that the old rooster DNA should be GONE from the hens' oviducts... Well, now that they've hatched, I'm questioning if that's the case. LOL Here are some pics of our hatched chicks. Please help me figure out if the dad was a Black Australorp...

    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.

    new/old chicken owner intro

    Hello BYC, thought I'd finally drop in and say "hello". 1. Yes, I'm new to raising chickens (got our first flock members in March of 2022), but old to raising chickens since my family & I did when I was a kid like 20 years ago. 2. We (husband & I) have 20 chickens right now. 2 roosters & 18...

    Hen or roo? 10 week old Barred Rock!

    Bought her from our local farm supply store advertised as a pullet, she’s slightly bigger than our Astralorp (also 10 week old). Thoughts?
