    Sex of RIR, BSL, and Columbian Rock....Plymouth Barred Rock turns out to be a Black Sex Linked!

    Chicks are 2 weeks + 5 days old. Thought we had: 1 x Columbian Rock Cross 2 x Rhode Island Red (possibly Red Sussex Cross) 2 x Plymouth Barred Rock Now I realize that there are no stripes and no head spots so it is likely the other option from the mix sold which was “Red Rock Cross” - I...

    (2nd attempt) any guesses on which of my chicks are roosters? Also tiny chicken that has barely grown? Also breed guesses/info? <3

    "Bandit" at 1 week old. Think "shes?" a brown leghorn and i was hoping she was a girl from her prominent eyeliner, but then at 4 weeks she has the biggest comb! Then we have "Bee" and "Pea" who seem to be developing combs at different rates, but also the combs just look kinda different. Pea's...

    My newest addition and first photo of them and this is what I get... love it. She's a maran. Next to her are the Plymouth barred rock and the double laced the the tiny white one on the end getting pushed off the roost by the barred rock is a columbian wyandotte I believe. The wyandotte has no tail

    Polish chicken getting picked on by other chickens.

    We have about 5 chickens, all of different ages. Three of them are around six months old, one is around four, and the last is about two or three months old. However, we have began to have issues with two of the oldest three chickens. We have a rooster, "Ash", who is a Plymouth Rock, and we have...

    Did I make the right decision?

    G'day everyone I'm hoping if I tell you a bit of my story, any of you could tell me if I made the right decision yesterday, (please try not to be to blunt with your responses as I'm feeling emotionally drained today) As I posted in the new members area, I currently have 2 Plymouth Rocks, but...

    Egg - who’s who?

    We have a 2 yr old blue orpington that we got a month ago and we were told she had just come back on the lay after winter. We didn’t get any eggs from her so put it down to shock. Her comb became bright red but still nothing. I was looking for round (“plump”) eggs. We have a Plymouth barred rock...

    Egg Laying Issues

    I got 3 one year old laying hens (1 RIR, 1 barred rock, 1 isa brown) at the end of June from someone rehoming them. They were all laying one egg a day consistently right away for about two weeks. Then all of a sudden the barred rock and isa brown stopped laying completely. I didn't know if it...

    Juniper and her babies

    Juniper, our Olive Egger, really wanted to become a mother so on Saturday I bought 4 baby chicks from our local feed store. 2 Red Sex Links, 1 Barred Rock, and 1 Black Australorp. We actually got the Black Australorp by mistake because they were in with the Barred Rocks but I love it already...

    How do I help my rooster from being picked on?

    Four months ago, I purchased 10 Australorp straight runs. After a few weeks, we noticed one of the chicks was forming stripes and found out we’d received a barred rock by mistake. I was so excited! A couple of months later, we realized we had 8 roosters and 2 hens! One of those roosters is the...

    Barred rock

    Recently bought 8 chicks from tractor supply. 2 were straight run Plymouth barred rocks. According to everything I've read the darker bird should be a hen but looks awful roostery to me. The small one had pasty butt when I got them home. It was always the runt. It looks like a male by color but...

    Plymouth Rock Young Hen in Need of Free Range Home

    Cruella is a 4mo Plymouth/Barred Rock girl who would be much happier living a free range life. She is located 25mi NW of Boston, MA and she is free if you have the right situation for her. I cannot free range my few girls because my property backs up to a National Wildlife Preserve and my yard...

    Who laid this egg?

    I would first like to thank everyone on this forum - you have supplied us with a wealth of knowledge and have made our first 5.5 months of urban chicken life so much fun! I have a 2 part question: We purchased an Ameraucana, Barred Rock, Black Star and Giant Cochin as hatchlings in early March...
