Mary likes them a lot. Can't wait for them to hatch. Only 2 more weeks. We have Buff Orps and BLRWs currently. Unfortunately we have too many roos who were supposed to be hens. A few of them are going to be stew.You'll love the Barred Rocks, I know I do. They're very docile and get along well with my Leghorns. I'm really glad I went with them.
