Barred Rock?

This is a Barred Rock, right?

Looks like it. But he's hatchery stock.

Can you elaborate the difference between hatchery stock and non hatchery stock? Out of curiousity?

 

[MysteryChicken]

Thanks!

You're welcome.

Here's my Heritage Plymouth Barred Rock to show the clear differences.

Note the crisp, clean even barring, bright yellow legs, 5 pointed single comb, his size, & no squirrel tail.

The crisp clean lines was the first thing I noted. I am not sure what a squirrel tail is though. Sorry to hijack this thread, but what do you think of my guy? He was about 17-20 weeks in this picture. There are five or six points on the comb, but I was counting from the picture.


Edited to add: and I already know he’s not as crispy as your boy

Sloppy.

Squirrel tail is a very high set tail, that curles down just like a squirrel.

My boy about 18 - 19 weeks.
