Why is it so behind all his brothers

To the OP - looks like a hatchery quality Barred Rock to me. By any chance, did they come from TSC?

I got them all from tractor supply wich gets them from Hoover

My question is for the originator of this thread. TSC/Hoover has been known to provide non typical Barred Rocks in the past. @Chicklessy

Do you think because rocky has always been weaker his brothers just pushed him out the way and that’s why he is so behind ?

It was sold to me as a sapphire gem the other two are spitting images but rocky isn’t

She came from Rural King which is also Hoover Hatchery I believe.

I had a Barred Rock from Mt Healthy Hatchery that had white like that, beautiful girl. Not proper for a BR, but a nice addition to the flock.

Yeah it’s nice to have variety even if it’s no how she’s supposed to look haha
