barred rock

    Future breeding rooster

    To start things off I can't say my barred rocks are anything special. They're all from backyard breeders so far as I know, and what offspring I've hatched myself. My highest goal is for non-aggressive roosters. However I'd also like to breed my birds toward the SOP. Even if I don't end up...

    Hi from Pennsylvania, USA

    Hi! I’m Cecilia! I currently have 8 hens, one barred rock (Ruthie), 2 sex-link (Dorothy and Barbara), 3 EE (Leia, Sally, and Chermie), and 2 OE (Tina and Nayna). As you can see, my 4 year old took great pleasure in naming some of them 🤣. I’ve been at this about 6 months, having acquired my first...

    Pure or Mixed Barred Rock?

    I recently got two, 2 month old Barred Rock Pullets, and was wondering if they truly are Barred Rock? Compared to my other two 5 month old Barred Rock chickens, my two month olds have lighter legs. They do have the dark splashing though…So, I believe that they are Barred Rock, just maybe have a...

    Pullets or cockerels?

    Barred rock chickens from the local feed store, all around 13-14 weeks. I thought all pullets since the coloring is very similar in all 4, but they’re developing at such different rates…and looking a tad too like in spots. Thoughts?

    Barred Rocks cockerels or pullets?

    I bought these barred rock chicks at a local auction and don't know anything about where they came from. I am hoping they are not male SL barred rocks. One is a roo for sure and he has a more defined striped pattern. I think they are a little over 3 weeks old. #1 roo #2 #3 #4 #5 #6 Does...

    What are the chances of a lost hen returning?

    Today I didn't do hardly anything with the chickens since I had done all the chores yesterday. All I did was take in the eggs and made sure they had food/water. Unfortunately I didn't pay attention to how many chickens were actually out there. When I went out to shut them in the coop after...

    Sight Sexing Barred Rock and Mystery Chick (HELP!)

    Hi, All! We just adopted two chicks (family eaten by raccoons). I’m reading about sight-sexing Barred Rocks, but am too new at this to feel confident in my assessment. Any advice would be appreciated! Also, the all black chick is a total mystery. Any idea what it could be? Thanks!!

    Just Posting For Memories of My Chickies

    I ordered 4 chicks from MyPetChicken.com and I loved the chicks I received. I bought four-1 day old chicks that I’ve wanted for awhile now: a SLWyandotte, BLRWyandotte, Speckled Sussex, and Barred Rock. Original plan was to sneak them under broody momma hen who’s chicks just hatched recently but...

    Barred Rock & EE; gender and age?

    Any thoughts on age? What about gender? My barred rock seems a bit older. They were both straight run but I read up on traits to visually sex a barred rock and tried to go with a less “flashy” EE. I know it’s still early but hoping for some guesses. I can’t have another cockerel.

    What's the breed, gender and age of this little chick?

    Just bought this little chook and gotta say its very cute. I don't know its age, gender or breed though. I think it may be a hen judging from its comb size and color but i could be wrong. Now I'm not an expert in breeds but I did a bit of searching and I think it may be a Plymouth/Barred rock...

    Hello! New Chicken owner in Middle TN

    Hello, I’m MJ and I picked up my first 3 chicks back in late March. I started with 2 speckled Sussex pullets and 1 buff Orpington pullet. My buff was a sweet little thing but while waiting on being able to move to our new home with a yard (was delayed by almost 2 months :/) they went to my...

    Hello! I have 2 Barred Rock Bantams that I need to re-home. They're about 4 months old & little sweethearts.. I just have TOO MANY ROOSTERS! 🤣 They're great guardians (they always alert when something is near), they're fairly docile (they don't like to be picked up, but love to be hand fed)...

    New Member hello & suspected rooster!

    We live in NH and are new to chickens. We got 12 chicks at one day old from a local garden store. 4 Easter Eggers, 4 Barred Rocks, and 4 Rhode Island Reds. We would like to get more into homesteading as we have 12 acres of land and a nice garden. We felt chickens would be next on our list. They...

Excited to see how these little ones turn out! Anyone have experience with Orpington and Barred rock...
