    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...

    Help w/genders and breeds of my flock, please!

    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...

    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!
