Pretty hens! Love the picture of the girl with the Pumpkin and the one sunbathing.2 of my original 4 chickens were Barred Rocks. I still have one of those girls left. She's about three now. She still lays a few times a week and has a big personality. She's #2 in my 8 hen flock. She is always "talking" about something, to me or to the rest of the flock. I've never had any hens raise chicks, but she makes that "mothering" call frequently to bring the rest of the flock to her if she finds a particularly tasty thing to eat while foraging around. I've often seen Barred Rocks on the "cold hardy" list of breeds. She does pretty well, but she does usually get a touch of frostbite on her comb tips every year. She loves to pose for pictures:
Adorable chick pictures, nice to see what they grew into.
I have three White Plymouth Rocks, they're sweet birds and lay plenty of brown eggs. They don't seem to be quite as curious or in your face as my Rhode Island Reds. My RIRs will follow me EVERYWHERE around the yard, but my WRs prefer to relax under a bush or tree.
(One of them was molting when I took this picture.)
