[@kdavis450]

Barred Rocks are one of my favorite breeds!! I had alot of them when I lived in TX and I have had a couple since moving back to Indiana and they did just fine in the very very cold, snowy weather. All of the ones I have had have been very friendly. I currently have a little barred rock chick that I wasn't planning on this fall but she was so that the Silver Penciled Plymouth Rock that I got had a cuddle buddy bc the Blue Andalusian wasnt having laying under the heater with the Penciled Rock chick (but she is a week or 2 older and SO FULL OF energy like Ive never seen a chick! She has never walked anywhere, she always flies.

[@vicsbackyardchicks6626]

This is amazing!!! They are one of the best!!

[@georgemcintyre-mi7jg]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ yeah I discovered you don't need to boil or bake your own chicken eggs she can eat them as they are after you eat crack them open and eat them to take your rig shells smash him up real fine and you are good to go to feed your chickens for calcium

[@vicsbackyardchicks6626]

I’ve done that if I feed the shells right away but usually I let them build up for a week so I bake them , if that makes sense! Thanks!

Is there a difference between Barred Rock and Plymouth rock ?

[@dariusgreysun]

None. Same breed

[@ReeceS6419]

I bought for baby barred rock . Are you able to tell them apart once they are fully grown?

[@laattardo]

You will be able to tell rooster from hen. Make sure you do not have too many roosters to hens.

[@vicsbackyardchicks6626]

I’m hoping so! Haha I think I will bc I got them separately but will let you know!

[@laattardo]

Plymouths are great in colder areas also. In New England I had these and they did great in the cold.

[@vicsbackyardchicks6626]

Amazing!! I’ve noticed she does great in cold and hot weather - what a hearty bird 🤍

[@laattardo]

@@vicsbackyardchicks6626 they really are. We never had problems with them in the deep winter, other breeds... not so much
