Heritage Plymouth Barred Rock/Show Quality Rock Thread

[rachallyy]

Here is a pic of my flock and some recent babies from my broody mama. Not show quality.
curious about those of you saying the BRs Roos tend to be aggressive towards people. Our JimBob is maybe 7-8 months old and not aggressive at all to us. He doesn’t LIKE us lol but he’s not aggressive. Will he tend to get that way as he ages for you think?

They look good.

His behavior could change. You never know.

I know this is a bit off topic, but do you @ColtHandorf would like to see my couple other Project Wheaten Crele Orpingtons I hatched last summer? 2 of them didn't inherit the barring gene though.

They don't look like Heritage type, but still pretty.

Normally I am not interested in BR, but he seems handsome.

He is handsome. His body type is more slender then what it should be. Other than that he's lovely.

My cockerel is only 3.5 months old, & is the size of a 4 month old. He's always been a Giant. He was the size of the palm of my hand as a 3 day old chick. Same with the pullet.

Just wanted to share how big he was as a chick too.

Never said all are aggressive, I said they have a tendency of being aggressive.
