barred rock

So, I posted a few days ago about a five month old BR that seemed to be getting sick. I thought she was getting better.. thought maybe she was just adjusting to the cold temps or maybe was just about to start laying and was in a bit of pain. That’s definitely not the case. I went out to give the...

Hello! We just had a pretty bad rainstorm... about 2 days straight of an absolute downpour. For whatever reason, the two heating lights I have in my coop went out in the rain. My dad thinks it’s a ‘gfi switch’ in which case we’ll just have to wait until it dries then hopefully it’ll come back...

I’m going to attach pictures tomorrow and post something a little more descriptive, but wondered if anyone could help me at the moment. I’ve got a Barred Rock that seems to possibly be getting sick. Not 100% sure about that, but the last few days she’s been a bit lethargic. she’s been the very...

I have a Barred Ameraucana Cross Rooster, (I'm making this post late at night and don't have a picture so I looked it up) -- which this image is from cackle hatchery and it's classifying this as a Black Sex Link. My two hens are Ameraucana purebreds and I wondered what I'd get if I crossed them...

I have three 10 1/2 week old chicks. I was wondering about gender because we aren't allowed to have roosters. There is one each of a barred rock, a Cuckoo maran, and a buff orpington. They were all bought as pullets but the maran and the Orpington have been kinda chest bumping? The maran is...

Hey everyone. I am new to chicken keeping and have unfortunately run into too many roosters and so I really need opinions on what sex these buff orpington and barred rock birds are so I know if I can keep them or not. Here are my 2 buff orpington chicks, they're about 11 weeks old: And here...

I bought this barred Rock being told it was a rooster. But as it ages, I am not to sure. Does anyone have an idea?

So, My wife and I are new to this whole backyard chicken thing. We did a research, picked our chickens, got approval from the city of Columbus, and even had our chickens checked out for gender by our vet. Three of our chickens came back as ladies. However, one rather big Barred Rock was left...
