    Newbie!

    Good morning! I am a chicken newbie of one month. My mother raised ducks but I never liked them because they were mean to me as a toddler. We have three single-comb, brown leg, three Columbian Wyandotte, and two Barred Rock. The Wyandottes are the calmest. The three brown leg remind me of the...

    Barred rock buff rock cross

    So I’ve seen a lot of barred rock and buff Orpington crosses but I’m curious about a barred rock and buff Plymouth Rock cross. I’m sure someone has done it. Are the results about the same as the Orpington cross or are they slightly different. Just trying to satisfy my curiosity.

    Barred Rocks?

    Hello, I am brand new to chickens and picked up some barred rock pullets about a week ago. The seller said they hatched on April 3. Before we picked up the barred rock chickens, I committed to adopting a friends cockerel. The new cockerel is now home with us, and is separated in an adjacent...

    Barred Rock pullet or cockerel?

    Hi everyone, New to backyard chickens and I need your help identifying the gender. Some feathers are getting thinner/longer, especially around the neck and tail. Its about 13-14 weeks old. It's also growing a few green/copper feathers. No crowing yet. Could this be a rooster? Thank you.

    Questions about "purebred"

    I bought some barred rocks from a hatchery. I'm interested in having them for my own food but also to help maintain a valuable heritage breed into the future. I'm hatching extra chicks to sell into the local area and I'm wondering what "pure breed" means exactly. I obviously do not have show...

    Barred Rock...ish

    Just had to share the funny little anomaly that is Owl, our little Barred Plymouth Rock girl. When she was a chick, she had just a bit of fluff on both her legs that went away fairly quickly. But now, at 8 weeks, she has grown two little feathers on only one foot. It is the funniest looking...

    Barred Rock Cockerel or Pullet?

    My 2 Barred Rocks are about 8-10 weeks old and they look quite different. The first 4 pictures are Francis and the last 4 pictures are of Jet. I’m thinking Francis is a cockerel but the coloring is the same as Jet, so that’s really throwing me off. What do you think? Thank you!
