Hen? Barred Rock or Mix?

looks to be a barred rock hen.

Looks like a barred rock but I cant see the comb much. What kind of comd does it have? Should have a single comb

 

[rsf31tmp]

It has a small, yellow single comb. I have two others just like it....I think they are barred rocks. I has three brothers just like them, they have found new homes. Just don't need 4 Barred Rock Roosters! One is plenty!

looks the part

I think it's a BR mix.

 

[rsf31tmp]

why a mix? It could be, I am just asking. I have a Barred Rock rooster and two hens. I got all of those birds at 3-4 months old last summer. Never saw them when young.

Quote:
I think Happy Chooks comment is based on the extreme smudging of the barring. The barring is poor even for a hatchery quality bird which would lead one to believe that the bird is a barred cross. She's still very pretty.

Smudged barring. That's pretty common with hatchery Rocks these days. Pity. I've got a couple myself.
Doesn't change the fact that they (and she pictured above) are absolutely darling.
