barred plymouth rock

Hi everyone! This is Bagels, she is from a repeatable hatchery and should be a she…but I am concerned due to her patterning she is looking more like a He! 4 weeks old…too early to tell? She got her tail feathers VERY early but I don’t have any other BR’s to compare her too! THANK YOU! ☺️ I love...

Update: SHE IS AN OLIVE EGGER LOL. Thank you for your help guys :) Hello!!! I have a little gal and I have NO idea what she is supposed to be. I was told one thing and she seems to be another. She has a funny little hairdo and quite the personality.

Just wanted to share some pics of this guy. I think he is going to be beautiful. Has anyone seen wattles/comb this big on a 4-5 week old?

I hatched 3 chicks and I am watching this one (named Hope, possibly switching to Howard) 4weeks old tomorrow…painted front legs but the waddle at the top looks a bit red….thoughts?

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...

I have personally had a great experience with this breed. How has your experience been? Vote and/or comment your opinion if you wish. Thx,

I'm working on an article about poultry quality. Would anybody be willing to let me use theirs? You will get credit, of course. I'm specifically looking for a photo showing the side profile of a Rhode Island Red, emphasizing the brick-like body shape and color. Another photo showing the correct...

He’s between 18-20 weeks and is going through a big molt. This molt is bringing in both really pretty brown feathers as well as feathers that flip backwards. Is this standard? Is there such thing as a mixed chicken breed? (I’m obviously new.) I’ll attach photos.

Hello fellow backyard chicken keepers! I have my first flock, just about 5 weeks old (the Easter Egger is a week older). I got the chicks from a homestead that claimed they were all pullets, but I suspect that I have one, possibly two (or more??) cockerels amongst my six chicks. I would love to...

My gut/pics are telling me cockerel but for the sake of my family loving this one I’m hoping it’s a she! No other barreds to compare in our flock. 4-5 weeks with one of my 5-6 week buffys and an australorp 4-5 weeks. Waddles developing, comb VERY pale pink 3-4 weeks old

So I've recently been sucked into the black hole of what is chicken colouring genetics. And after days of research... I'm still a bit confused I've discovered how wonderfully complex and interesting this area is! And would like some advice, thoughts, opinions or maybe some links to information...

Hello! I have: 1 Lavender Orpington rooster 2 chocolate Orpington pullets 1 buff Orpington pullet 3 barred rock pullets I’ve been looking for lavender hens/pullets but I’m having zero luck. Has anyone crossed these breeds with Lav Orpington & if so, do you have pictures, pros+cons, etc...

I am deciding which breed rooster to add to my flock and saw a beautiful photo online of a BPR roo that had some blue tail feathers. Is that common or did someone cross BPR with another breed to achieve that? thanks!
