barred rock

My little pair of troublemakers turned 4 weeks old this past Sunday! As they get bigger, so do their personalities. These guys sure know how to make me laugh. I suspect Pork (barred rock mother, polkie father) is a cockerel, with that prominent red comb coming in. He loves to cuddle and perch...

I’m a new chicken owner and I’m curious if my barred rock is really a roo! It’s comb seems really red for being around 7 weeks old! The comb looks a little more red in person then in the pictures. Also the most dominate of the group.

Can any chicken experts help this newbie. I purchased this barred rock chick from tractor supply, no idea how old she was but she wasn’t a teeny tiny chick and already had wing feathers. I’m guessing she’s now between 5-6wks. She’s all black & beginning to get red feathers on her neck …but no...

Hello! My name is Tara and we live in the Catskills. I am a brand new chicken owner. We decided that we wanted to raise heritage chickens. Currently we have some barred rock and Croad Langshan chicken with some Partridge Chanteclers on the way.

so I was recently given two chicks from my neighbors to add to my flock, they seem about 7 or 8 weeks old so I know they're okay outside but my 3 BR and 2 RIR seem to be bullying my little white one. When should I draw the line? Cayse they're already pulling tail feathers and it's barely day...

So I have black austrolorp hens and a barred rock hen, my rooster is a lavender Orpington and I was wondering if anyone would know what the baby’s would look like, for both the austrolorp and barred rock. Thank you to whoever can answer this!!!❤️

I know it’s too early to tell, but there are rather obvious characteristics with this 2 week old chick! 1) Has light feet compared to my other ‘female’ Barred Rock chick 2) Feather growth is very slow compared to my other chicks (who are the same age) 3) The small feathers it does have are...

New members here!! So recently me and my girlfriend decided to get six chicks from our local orschlns that said four were barred rocks(other two rhode island reds) but after reading some on here I fear this may not be correct. I read barred rocks are supposed to have yellow legs but these are...

Is he a barred rock or a cuckoo maran. I think he is a maran. What do you all think?

Hi! We bought 5 sex link chicks from a local feed store. 2 are gold sexlink, 1 is a red sex link, and 2 are black sex links. We were told they were all female, but one of the black sexlinks had a white spot on their head. I didn’t realize a white spot on a black sex link meant male, and it...

This is only the second time raising chicks and we picked up twenty from the local farm store. We’re hoping we might get one rooster from the batch since we will want to free range them once they are old enough. One of the barred rocks was clearly from a prior hatching than the rest and was the...

I'm not having any luck finding a farm or acreage property to move to, where I can take them. This is breaking my heart. :hit I know BYB is their best chance of finding a true chicken person who will treat them right. 7 Purebred Laying Hens, Hen House + Organic feed + all supplies - everything...

Hello! I desperately need help. I have a Barred Rock that I believe is laying internally, and I don’t know what to do. I discovered she wasn’t doing well when I picked her up and her abdomen was as hard as a softball. I tried to feel around in her vent, and I’m honestly not sure what I felt. The...

Hello all. Recently I posted about a leghorn I had who was exhibiting signs of being egg bound, and was laying soft shelled eggs. After an epsom salt bath and some calcium, she was laying eggs again and is back to her usual self. Another one of my chickens, a BR, is now seeming quite bound up...

I bought Speedwagon as a chick from the Atwood’s and he was labeled as a sapphire gem but I think he’s mixed with barred rock. Or maybe a different breed entirely? He’s about two feet tall. Very large. Thoughts and opinions? Sorry for the lack of pictures, he’s very shy, but he’s the big grey...

I'm hoping to find some people to help me with sex linked chickens. Would a Cream Legbar x Barred rock hen make sex linked chicks? Any idea what they would look like? I'm hoping for colorful roosters. Cream Legbar x Delaware? Cream Legbar x Silver Laced Wyandotte? Cream Legbar x Columbian...

I had to share this! Every time I see this chick, I have to laugh! 🤣 Her eyebrows make her look so mean & it just looks too funny on such a cute little fuzzy baby. This batch of chicks has some very cute coloring, but I've never seen something like this! She has one on each side. lol Have you...
