Leghorn Vs Barred Rock Bickering Thread

[JadeFarms]

I might but I need a break... I got a lot too many birds this year

So did I, feed is expensive. I’m tempted to try feeding the older chicks just plants and see what happens.

Hey, guys. I already have some Leghorns and probably won't get any more. Convince me, one way or t'other, about Barred Rocks. Why should I or shouldn't I add them to my flock? I don't care about their looks, talk to me about temperament, egg-laying capacity, etc. Help me decide. I've looked at Hollands but they are a little pricey, especially since I can't isolate them from my other birds to keep them pure. Also, why BR and not Doms? Thanks!

Reason # 1 to thin I like my birds to be plump
reason # they quit laying after 2 or 3 years
reason # 3They don't go broody ever!
Shale I go on?!?!?!

Whoa, you WANT your birds to go broody? I don't.

Doms are way superior to BR. @TheOddOneOut may be able to talk to you about temperament.

TBH I don't' have reasons you shouldn't get BRs. They're friendly and cute. Leghorns are just better.
