Well I think its going to turn out that my Barred Rock is a rooster instead of a hen. My chicks are 5 months old now and the last 2 mornings around 6 It has got very vocal trying to crow. This sucks to because I really like this chicken but living in the city, its going to end up being a nuisance. So if anyone in the DFW area wants one, let me know quick ot its going to be dinner.
