Ordered 15 barred rock chicks for laying hens! They'll be here May 22nd! I had 2 chickens when I was little but this is my first on my own any help or tips would be greatly appreciated!

Hello and welcome from Ohio....so glad you joined BYC

Barred rocks are such a nice friendly layer. You will love them

Good luck and hope they have a nice quick trip and arrive safe and sound

Thank you all! I really appreciate it! I bought Storey's Guide to Raising Chickens and I've pretty much read it all. When I first ordered my chicks, I originally wanted RIR's. The man at the hatchery told me it would be mid July until I could get my RIR's and I'm soooo impatient! Lol I asked what another good breed similar to RIR's would be and he suggested Barred Rock's. I started doing my research on them and they sound awesome! I'm so excited to start my chicken adventure
