Got her from feed store that had her in a pullet bin she is 3 weeks will be 4 on the 25th. I have my concerns because the older she has gotten the more aggressive she has become towards me and the other chicks. I tried to get as many photo as possible. All my other pullets are more calm and...
About a month ago I noticed she was acting a bit broody and then I noticed she had lost some feathers on her belly but I just noticed they still haven’t grown back and the skin is patchy and red. I inspected and can’t find any mites or lice and she is acting completely normal otherwise. What...
Bought these “girls” five weeks ago and I’m starting to worry that I have two Roos. I wouldn’t mind having roosters if they were allowed in my city but unfortunately I cannot. What do you think? I love them all so much. They are all so sweet!
I think my barred rock and buff might be Roos…I...
Trying again… supposed to be barred rocks but they look different from eachother
The one on the (Left) with a light comb, has light toes.
Pictured below.
The one on the (Right) with a dark comb, has darker feet.
Pictured below.
Thoughts? They are 3 weeks old today.
I've been around small scale chicken flocks my whole life. My grandma had chickens, my mom had chickens, and I've had a flock of around a dozen for the past 5 years. This year I'm upscaling and doing things differently.
I currently have 5 roosters, 35 hens, and one pekin duck hen.
I have...
Does anyone know what chicks would look like from a barred rock rooster and isa brown hen? Or a barred rock rooster with an English jubilee Orpington hen? I’m learning to hatch my own eggs so am hatching from what I currently have.
A great beginner breed!I have had three and the one I have now is one of my favorites.Very docile.They are adventurous when it comes to free ranging.One of mine got in the neighbors engine and rode to the store!(the chicken hiding under the other is not a barred rock)
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...
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...
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...
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...
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!
Someone saw my Barred Rock online last night and said she is actually a he! Please tell me that’s not true. I may actually cry! We can’t have Roos 😭
18 weeks.
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...
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...
