The upper left looks crow to me.

The whole upper row looks crow to me, but from the least extreme to the extreme (from left being least extreme, a little more, and extreme).

Could this be the Charles Tigner you refer to? I hope not, he very recently passed away, if so. It says he was active in 4-H and youth clubs...

Nope. Charles passed away about 25 years ago. He and Warren Starke used to travel together. Warren may have gotten his birds. Those birds were spectacular. Hunt up Warren Starke in in Seale, Alabama.

How long will the rock discussion go on? I have a silver pencilled rock that is just a farm bird but she did beat my awesome buckeyes and took best American at our local APA show this past fall. I'm not sure if I have any pics of her but I might be able to get some soon

These are my 2 "Imperial Ringlet" strain Barred Rock pullets (at 10 months) from Jeremy Woeppel (XW poultry in Nebraska). I believe these were started from Reese's flock. I am pleased with them. I especially like their heads and overall lines...yellow legs...nice width and depth of body...they are super docile and quiet as a plus...lay very large and often. Overall they are my flock favorites..watching them free ranging is a true pleasure!! Hoping to hatch more from Jeremy this year. I am sure they are not perfect birds...what do you guys think---pros and cons???

Forgot to add that these birds are HUGE.

They look it!

These are some of the best conditioned and typed Barred Rocks from this line I have seen. You did a great job on raising them and they have great color.

These pullets do look good. They are in good shape. A little more tail, and they would be as good as I have seen.

Jeremy is a good source to get these birds. He has done well with them.
