Barred Rock.....?

[somissemilyy]

Is this a Barred Rock or a Dominque?


[the middle one]

Thanks so much. I thought she was a Dominque..

hatchery barred rock

 

[somissemilyy]

what is a hatchery?

 

[punky rooster]

the quality of the bird you could just say production or not pure bred

 

[somissemilyy]

Oh okay. Thanks

 

[speckledhen]

punky means it looks like a Barred Rock you'd get from a hatchery as opposed to a breeder of quality Barred Plymouth Rocks.

I'm still new to chickens. I had no idea what all that means. Haha, Thanks speckledhen!

Why couldn't it be a "hatchery Dom'??? By the comb and the fuzzy barring i was suspecting Dom....why ya'll say hatchery BR?

 

[PepsNick]

Comb and body shame look like dominique to me.
