    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...

    Do Barred Plymouth Rock roosters have blue tail feathers?

    I am deciding which breed rooster to add to my flock and saw a beautiful photo online of a BPR roo that had some blue tail feathers. Is that common or did someone cross BPR with another breed to achieve that? thanks!

    Light vs dark barred rocks

    I'm looking at getting some plymouth/barred rocks and was wondering if anyone could tell me about the differences between light and dark bars, is 1 better or is colour the only difference? Thanks CK

    Black Sex Link

    I’m thinking of getting one. I know they are a cross between a barred hen and a Rhode Island rooster. Males have a white spot on the head. What are some of the personality traits? Do the hens alert the flock of danger or protect them? Do they have a tendency to go broody? Do they do good in hot...

    Plymouth Rock/Cream Legbar Mix?

    Looking at some chicken breeds and saw one called a Cream Legbar. I then remembered Cin has a Plymouth Rock hen that looks like she's constantly angry because her head feathers are always up. Cream Legbar has the same thing going on. Could she be a mix of the two, or is she just an angry birb?

    Help with breeds- 8-9 week old pullets

    So, admittedly I didn't check out the breeder that well as far as breeding lines, etc. but that doesn't matter too much anyway. I wanted decent layers and breeds that are at least usually not aggressive. I *thought* I was getting barred rocks, easter eggers, one buff orp and one SLW. I know...

    We have a very sweet 4 month old Plymouth barred rock roo that is free to good home. We love him but city ordinance doesn’t allow roosters and it wasn’t until a couple weeks ago we learned he wasn’t a hen. We’ve handled him daily since he was 2 weeks old. Please help us rehome him
