One FAT Barred Rock!

Great reminder, thanks!

I'd liken her less to a Camaro and more to a diesel dualie though. Haha.

Your pictures are perfect. She looks just like them. The wheezing could be the heat lately. It's cooling off finally and she's less affected. I'll just chase her around for more exercise

I have 5 Barred Rocks, 13 months old. All are heavy weights. Their hips are as wide as a Camaros quarter panels. They have a healthy appetite, their crops are huge by midmorning.
I don't restrict their feed. Dry feed and water is available in their coop 24/7.
I get a good workout when I pick them up. View attachment 1927026 View attachment 1927027 View attachment 1927028
They are so embarrassed that when at the feeder they hide in the shadows.View attachment 1927029
Seriously though Rocks are a heavy duel purpose breed.
Your Rocks Comb and wattles are are a healthy bright red. I would be concerned about the wheezing though. None of my girls wheeze. GC

My barred rocks look like yours. I was afraid they were overweight but I guess they are healthy. Their wattles and combs are deep red. They try to eat all the treats. I have to separate my one easter egger and give her some of the treats separately. Love your flock.
