Hi everyone! My name is Michelle... about 2 months ago we just got 2 chicks from a friend. So I'm new to raising chicks... hoping I can make some friends and learn alot here. I believe my chicks are Plymouth Barred Rocks... Just posted in the "Managing your flock" thread as I think my 2 chicks are now roosters!! What are the odds?? or do I just have bad luck? Hoping some of you can shed some light on my issue. Looking forward to meeting some new friends! Michelle My son and one of the Roo's... _______________________________ Update: My 2 chicks were both Roo's... got some new babies yesterday! Just wanted to share! https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=556439
from Oklahoma!!!! How old are your Barred rock chicks? Are they light or dark in color? Light would be more of a grey and dark being more black showing through. Nate
and from Ohio. So glad you joined. I posted a pic for comparison of some barred cochins that are around 4 months old roo on left, pullet on right.
good luck, now that you are in the chicken way, even if they are Roos, it is easy to come across a hen somewhere.
