Glad I found this thread… we like Barred Rocks a lot. They are our favorite of all of the heritage breeds, and we keep a small flock of them. I would like to present for your viewing pleasure, Rooster Cogburn. He is about 20 weeks in this photo, taken today. A fine and handsome bird, he carries himself like royalty, he prances around the place keeping tabs on his flock of twenty hens. Here he is found showing his approval of his nightly treat, mealworms lightly sprinkled over fresh, end cut watermelon and he likes it chilled, not shaken.



He is giving the chicken, two thumbs up on this treat. He thinks this IS something to crow about.

Best to all and your birds,

RJ

I would like to share another photograph of my prize rooster, Rooster Cogburn from this evening, I understand him to be saying to us, 'You looking at me!'



Best to all and your birds,

Entered my prize rooster, Rooster Cogburn in our local county fair today. First time taking a chicken to the fair. I guess it was fun, I am not sure just what to make of some chicken folks. Anyway I went over and looked at the nice trophies they have for the chickens. I picked out a nice tall one that I hope to claim as my own on the morrow. Win, lose or draw the grandkids think it is cool and that means that so do I. I still think that the Barred Rocks are one nice looking bird.



RC is about 20 weeks old in this recent photograph. Wish him well in his first bird show.

Best to all of you whom love them Barred Rocks,

RJ
