    Barred Rock ~5 weeks old - male or female?

    Hi, everyone! Chicken newbie, here. Is Henrietta/Henry (?) a male or female? I purchased her from a local feed store sexed as a female Barred Plymouth Rock, hatchery stock. I believe she is around 4/5 weeks old. She is the only Barred Rock in my chicken crew, so I don't have a sibling to compare...

    Draining fluid in abdomen?

    Hello, I hope you’re all having a good Monday! I’m going to try to explain this but I feel like I’m not going to do a very good job, so please bare with me. This morning when I went out to my coop, my chicken, who I presume has water belly, didn’t look very good. She’s definitely been getting...

    4 week chicks - Pullets?

    So I have three 4 week old chicks (exactly 28 days today), one barred rock (Owl), one sapphire gem (Cinder), and one buff orpington (Daisy). The orpington I'm not concerned about, as I'm about 99% certain she's a pullet. The barred rock I vacillated on for a while due to temperament and a more...

    Is this a sex link?

    Hello! I recently bought barred rock chicks locally to add to my flock. My intentions are to breed them because barred rocks are my favorite and no one has them in my area. Anyway, now I’m worried that I may have quite a few sex links. But I don’t know much about them to say for sure! I have...

    Olive egger/Rhode Island crossed to grey leghorn

    Last year we purchased a rooster that we thought was exceptionally beautiful and great attitude. He was the result of an Olive Egger rooster over a Rhode Island hen. He was thick in body, heavy feather with a short fat comb, thick legs. We then bred the rooster to our two grey leghorns, two...

    Six Day Old Chick- Lethargic, dying.

    Hi everyone- I know this is not the first post about a lethargic chick- but I can’t quite get an answer anywhere. My 6 day old barred rock chick (by characteristics I’ve sexed her as female) is likely not going to make it. This isn’t my first time raising chicks but I’ve changed just about...

    Black Sex Link Pullet? Or what?

    I got 8 chicks Wednesday from a local feed store (Steinhausers) now this one is suppose to be a BSL pullet (Black Sex Link) in the first 4 pics but it's looking like the Barred rock chick I picked out. Do they have white around wing tips? White specks under eyes. No spot on head, not even a hint...

    Did I get 2 Roo's again?

    I bought 8 chicks yesterday at a local feed store, was planned! I'm down to three 2 yrs old hens of my previous 7 chickens [2 were Roosters](lot's of heartbreak). This 1st chick is supposed to be a Red Sex link, I got 3, other 2 look like pullets but this one is really friendly and gives me...

    Sexing Barred Rock Chicks

    Can anyone help me out sexing the barred rock chicks? The people I bought them from said they were pullets but I’m not real sure. I have two in the pics below of the group. I only have one chick recent close up. The pic of the two is when we first got them.

    Purplish comb on the back

    Hi! I have a Barred Rock and her comb has been going purplish in the back and within 5 minutes it went back to bright red. Wondering if this is normal? She is acting normal, eating, dust bathing and being the bully at the top of the pecking order. Why does this happen?

    Which is bigger - Wyandottes or Barred Rock

    Last year, I picked up 6 chicks - 3 Australorps and 3 Light Brahmas. They were all supposed to be females, but one of the Brahmas ended up a rooster. While I'm thrilled to have him, I hadn't planned for him (by the time we knew he was a rooster, there were no more chicks to be had locally)...

    Hi! I'm Krystal!

    (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? I am relatively new to raising chickens though my best friend has had them for over thirty years so I feel like I've learned a lot in the past six months or so that I've been raising them. All of my birds have been raised from 2-3...

    Limping/lame chicken

    Hello all, My barred rock started not wanting to use her right leg/limping yesterday. I came home to her hopping around on it. She holds it out front of her while moving, and she lays with it kinda out to the side. She's still eating/drinking and going outside into the run etc, just isn't quite...
