Barred Rock pullet or cockerel?

Just pretend we said it was a boy, get another chicken, and then act surprised when she lays an egg!

Alas, I'm sorry to report that That Chicken moved on to the next stage of the circle of life while free-ranging this past weekend. Either a hawk or a fox is my bet. The rest of them were a little lost for a few days without their fearless leader. Bummer.

Hmmm... I was only going to have 2 chickens for our family. The number went up to 3, then 5, 6, and finally 8. I kept going back to the chick store. I had to integrate 5 to the first three since the age difference. We had them a year then hubby decides to let the kids have new chicks this spring! I do 100% of the chicken work. We added 3 more and up to 12. I'm eating a non layer and I have another layer that lays bad eggs.lol

The integration process is not easy with our hens!

So sorry to hear, I enjoyed reading about this girl, she had a great personality. I bet she at least put up a brave fight. Well Done You!!!!
