Did I accidentally get all male Barred Rocks?

[Iluveggers]

11 weeks old!

I've been letting them free range in the mornings while I do chores. Today I let them out in the evening while we grilled dinner and ate on our porch. I was quite tickled when after dinner I went to put them back and I found they had put themselves to bed already!

They are such cool looking chickens! I really do think they are some sort of Eggers. Cant wait to see what they actually lay!

I agree! I have taken to just calling them Easter Eggers.

I do wish they were a bit more friendly. Thankfully my Australorps are super friendly and these two EEs will follow my Australorps if I'm herding them around. There is no catching them on their own though.

Frank!

And Marmalade!

Now just shy of 12 weeks old. They are free ranging from about 8 am to 5pm every day now, which they are loving. On days I don't let them out due to either weather or my own schedule, they stand at the door to their run letting me know their displeasure.

Lucky 13!

Marmalade:

I so rarely get pictures of the other Easter Egger, Toast. She does not like getting near me, even if the other girls are near me. Marmalade tolerates being near me if the other girls are near, and while she can touch me, I'm not allowed to touch her.

And my favorite of my Aussie girls, Camilla:

I have to be careful around her now as she really, really loves to jump up on my shoulder. She got me in the eye about a week ago. Quick trip to immediate care, getting my eye flushed out, and we won't be doing that any more. She doesn't particularly like being held, so now I am trying to train them all to jump on this stump for pets.
