you might have a rooster, but the color has nothing to do with that. barred rocks tend to come in light or dark.. I have never had a light colored rooster, though..

those mean turkeys or roosters always taste the best..

How do the combs compare between the 3 Heinzie ? 4 weeks is still a little early to be sure who is what. My newbies are little over 2 weeks already...not sure what the ratio is...but I have some of each..LOL

The lighter colored chick has a little bit bigger and redder color to its comb

Hello and welcome newbies!!! I live south of the border (shhhh in NE IL), have 14 close-to-lay juveniles and four layers. I’m in my sixth year and each brood surprises me.

Jim- I passed on the information to the neighbors friend. Its outta my hands now. Thanks for helping me out!

chk scr, thanks. I don't mind linking the people, but I stay out of the negotiations.
I hope they can strike a deal.
my projects are on hold for today.
one of the freezers in the garage pooped out.
today we will be filling a dumpster. luckily the garbage man comes today..
bl4, looks like you will bee busy.
having a hive close by will really improve your garden.
I had a hive for one summer. they didn't survive our winter.

I fenced in my compost pile yesterday and took the girls over there for a little field trip. I have not Laughed that much in a long time. At first they were shy but then one of them found a little leaf worm then it was game on. Still laughing about it. Going to give them another half hour later today I am guessing this is old hat for most of you, but I had to tell the story to somebody

Chicken and turkey watching is more enjoyable to me than watching TV!

It's amazing how timid the chickens are about new things, until one makes a move...then everyone loses their fear...silly birds!
I've been considering bees for years bl4...maybe next year would be a good time to start. Keep us posted on your success with the process. I buy my honey from a nearby neighbor and never attempted raising them for that reason, but yep, the pollinators would be a blessing.
