Barred Rock Chicks are so cute when they begin to grow their feathers and the barring starts to show.

I can't build any more coops right now. My Grandpa won't let me put up anymore coops until he passes.
I'm just going to have to some organizing with the birds.

I'll take pictures of the peeps when I get them.

I've raised them before. I know their cute. They're going to be used in my Wheaten Crele Orpington Project.

Yes I know your getting them for the project..I had two in my very first flock.

Okay.
I'm gonna have to build a pen in case I get an extra Malay cock, since they will fight each other.

I'm getting 4 eggs a day now so that's a good sign. One of the ones that were Broody is laying again I assume.

Okay.
What variety of Barred Rocks did you start with?
Heritage, or Hatchery Stock?

I started my Project with regular Hatchery Stock Barred Rocks which gave my birds messy barring.

I'm going to correct my Project birds barring with Heritage Breed Barred Rocks.

Chickens, or ducks?
