Bought a package of what was advertised a “Barred Rock Chicks” in March from local Tractor Supply Company. 100% they are not Barred Rock Chicks. They also appear to be possibly a mix of black sex link Barred Rock/Rhode Island Red crosses. Also seem to be mostly roosters? Like 8 of them. A neighbouring farmer bought 50 from them. 2 died & 47 WERE ROOSTERS. It seems they’re sexing the chicks & sending roosters ok purpose. Ours mostly looked like pullets (save 1 we debated) & all black from the beginning. Now looking very different & hoping for some help figuring out what they are. Have 10, plus side is they have all made it to 18 wks.
This is all 1 chicken from different angles. Suspect it’s 1 of the roosters.
