Oh definitely!

I like my Barred Rock hen too. Now if only she didn't have a bald head

Here's a pic of one of my pullets and roo.

MandyH, are you sure you posted a photo of a pullet? It looks to be a young cockerel?

 

[speckledhen]

Yep, both those pics are of cockerels.

Took a good look at them today, all have the same body confirmation, but split half and half between single and rose combs. Now I know which half goes in the pot first!

Something else I noticed, the single comb roos are the bolder birds - first to come out of the coop, first to come up to me when I go to feed them. Anybody ever hear that trait linked to combs?

 

[speckledhen]

No, but that is definitely a Barred Rock trait, at least with all the ones I've had/hatched/raised. I have not owned Doms personally, so someone may be able to tell you about their personalities.

Everybody, I think, is coming out of the coop now. They've started to like it outdoors! Seven weeks old now...
