As a new chicken mom, I am happy to have found the Barred Rock thread. We have 3 BRs and 3 EEs. The BRs are definitely our favorites as they are so friendly and affectionate. We never expected to enjoy our ladies this much!
I'm new to barred rocks also. I love them too. I have two but one of them is definitely the leader and she always let's me pet her chest and under her beak. So cute. Now just waiting for them to start laying in August.
