Hi,
My Plymouth Barred Rock has been limping and has rales. Any idea on what's going on?
She has been limping for over a month, and sits under the waterer (nipple type, we installed them on a Home Depot 5-gal bucket) (probably Kestin score of 2-3) and we noticed her breathing was watery (through...
Have about 8 cockerels for give away. Dad is a Copper Marans and very gentle. He is a bit henplucked, LOL. Moms are also well dispositioned.... Salmon Faverolle, Barred Rock, Light Ameraucana, and Dark Ameraucana. Believe the gray chick to be the Light Ameraucana cross. Both Salmon Faverolle...
Hi,
I THINK this is a BR Roo x Wel Hen. It’s a pretty chick admittedly but I’m not sure whether having a BR Roo makes it sex linked and I was wondering if anyone has seen this pattern before?
(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
I am completely new to chickens! My grandmother grew up with my great grandmother and they raised meat birds, and lived off the grid homesteading.
I got my first chickens late April this year.
(2) How many chickens do you have right...
Hello fellow chicken momma’s!
My 5 20week old barred rocks pullets are consistently kicking their ceramics eggs out of their nesting boxes, 4 out of the 5 are squatting, and they are more vocal then ever. All these behaviors started about 2weeks ago.
Could this mean their FINALLY going to lay...
I got this little one has a baby. She was sold as a orpington but as her feathers came in it was obvious she was not. Pretty sure she’s a barred rock.
She has the paint wash legs, had a spot on her head as a baby.
But now at 5/6 weeks I’ve notice waddles coming in.. her comb is yellow but the...
Hi everyone!
Yesterday my first lot of barred rock chicks hatched!
Is anyone here familiar with sexing them at a day old? After reading google and looking at head spot and leg colouring, I think I have 3 pullets and 2 cockerels.
Would anyone else agree by looking at their head colouring?
Thanks!
This is Jaime. I have four Barred Rock (20wks) which are from a local farm store, pullets.This chicken is the first to have the full comb and her tail is spreading out. We are wondering if we got that 5% chicken that may be a rooster in the pullet bin. I'd love to hear your insight. What...
My little pair of troublemakers turned 4 weeks old this past Sunday! As they get bigger, so do their personalities. These guys sure know how to make me laugh.
I suspect Pork (barred rock mother, polkie father) is a cockerel, with that prominent red comb coming in. He loves to cuddle and perch...
I’m a new chicken owner and I’m curious if my barred rock is really a roo! It’s comb seems really red for being around 7 weeks old! The comb looks a little more red in person then in the pictures. Also the most dominate of the group.
Can any chicken experts help this newbie. I purchased this barred rock chick from tractor supply, no idea how old she was but she wasn’t a teeny tiny chick and already had wing feathers. I’m guessing she’s now between 5-6wks. She’s all black & beginning to get red feathers on her neck …but no...
Hey guys I have 8 mixed backyard straight run chicks that I need help identifying gender/ Breed. The possible breeds are (Barred Rock, Orphinton, Australops, Easter Eggers and less likely (Polish and Brahmas) Pretty much ruled out none or polish or Brahmas....
Chick number 1 Guess Orphinton...
Hello! My name is Tara and we live in the Catskills. I am a brand new chicken owner. We decided that we wanted to raise heritage chickens. Currently we have some barred rock and Croad Langshan chicken with some Partridge Chanteclers on the way.
