    Hen acting strange

    Hi everyone! This morning I came out to take care of the girls and let them out and I noticed Rose acting funny. She didn’t want to leave the run to free range and once I coaxed her out she just lays down. She seems not as active as she usually is and lately we’ve been battling soft shelled eggs...

    Please help sex these barred rock chicks (8 weeks)

    I recently got these 6 barred rock chicks. They’re 8 weeks old. I’ve been trying to figure out how to sex them but I’m just getting more confused the more I read. Here’s some pictures, they all look very similar so I’m think I might have all Roos. It’s not a big deal if they are as I plan on...

    Help!! Barred Rock Gender???????

    We got a chicken 3 months ago and it started crowing when it was 1.5 months. And now it crows every day. But we read some articles saying the barred rock will crow to show her dominance especially when there is no rooster. We also get three more hens and they get beat up by her sometimes and one...

    How many Barred Rock hens can I add to my bantam flock of 4 in a 5x4 coop?

    I have a 5 week old flock of 4 Nankin Bantams, I got them not really knowing that they were going to be tiny and not lay many eggs. We are still in love with them, but want to add a couple of Barred Rocks to the flock while they are young if we can. Our run has more than enough space but the...

    10 week old Barred Rock - male or female?

    Photos of “Wrinkle” today at 10ish weeks old, and at about 1 week old. Comb and wattle are very developed compared to the other pullets but this is the only Barred Rock I have so nothing to compare to!

    2 Year Old Barred Rock Hen Losing Her Voice?

    My 2yo barred rock Pepper appears to be losing her voice as of yesterday. She normally is quite vocal and has a clear cluck/scream but today she is quieter and her sounds seem more garbled and strained. Her comb is nice and red, she is running and flapping and digging with all her normal...

    So confused! What do I have here?

    Super newbie chick mama! I have what I was told was a BR pullet from a farm store bin. I got her/he with a bunch of mixed breeds that are all within days apart. It immediately grew to be almost twice the size as the others and has never really stayed hunched over, I barely caught the pic I...

    Hen or Roo? Barred rock mix chicks - 8 weeks old

    Hi, These guys were supposed to be cuckoos, due to the feet coloration we are thinking more barred rock, but I was told due to some of the coloration they don't appear pure bred and are probably mixed. Most from TSC, red banded chick is from rural king. Around 8 weeks old as of Yesterday...

    Are my California White and Barred Rock roos?

    Alright so hi I'm new and I know this is a constantly asked question. I am 98% sure the California is a Roo but the Barred has me stumped. I have 3 Barred. One is FOR sure a Roo and one is for sure a Hen. But this one has some characteristics of both. So what do you guys think? The first couple...

    Sapphire Sky, Jubilee Orpington, Barred Rock, Salmon Faverolle 6-9 weeks old roo/cockerel or pullet (and Sapphire sky question)

    Hi! We have four alleged pullets which were all allegedly hatched on April 1 and 3 (so about 9 weeks ago). The Jubilee Orpington (JO), Barred Rock (BR), and Salmon Faverolle (SF) all were picked up when they were allegedly 10-12 days old, but I really have some doubts that the SF was as old as...

    5 week Barred Rock Male or Female

    What do you think? Male or female? Larger than the silkie and blue laced red wyandotte around the same age. Comb much more pronounced.

    Barred Rock vs. Malines Rooster?

    Hi BYC family! I am looking to replace my rooster (my sweet Randy was lost to a raccoon about 2 weeks ago) I live in an area with HEAVY predator pressure - main offenders are owls, hawks, foxes, raccoons, and coyotes. Since Randy died, I’ve already had 3 hens get eaten by a Fox 😣 So I’m looking...

    Does my 5.5 week barred rock look like a pullet to you?

    I recently read that your favorite chick always ends up being a cockerel. Well just as soon as I decided she was my favorite, I also realized she is quite a bit larger than her other barred rock sister (and way friendlier) which makes me nervous!! I’d love to get your opinions.

    Did Tractor Supply sell me me roos?!

    First time chicken owner here! I got 3 Barred Rock pullets from Tractor Supply. I got them 3 weeks ago. Based off the countless hours I’ve researched, I’m 100% sure the darkest one is a pullet, she’s smaller and very sweet with a dark leg wash. Her tail feathers came in first and she has the...
