white rock

Hello All: I am a new member to homesteading and backyard chickens; living in Eastern PA. I bought my first set of chicks in June and received them on August 16th 2022. I have a total of 6 chickens; 2 WHITE Rocks, 2 Rhode Island REDs, and 2 BLACK Australorps. I built a 6 x 6 foot coop and a...

I have a rooster that is white, has a very very light yellow straw color on neck and saddle. Any idea breed? Maybe bad quality Rhode Island White or white Orpington or white Rock? I have a pure bred black Australorp hen with him and their chicks are huge! Like really big! Any help would be...

I am a first time chicken owner and am not sure if my gorgeous white rock chicken is a hen or a rooster. The feed store I got her (?) from as a chick in December said it was a female, but I am starting to think maybe not. Becky is much larger that the other chickens we got at the same time and...

I’m very confused about some mixed chickens I have. I have 4. 2 I know for sure are roosters, but 2 look just like roosters but act and are treated like hens. They’re are still too young to lay eggs so I’m not positive. But with the two that look/act like hens, my other roosters want to mate...

Hello!! I thought I hade a white rock hen, but am now noticing this strawberry blonde color seeping into her feathers. I thought it was dirt at first but it's the coloration of her feathers. Does anyone know if she is really a white rock or guesses as to what her breed might be? Just super curious!

I posted picture of "her?" about a week ago and everyone said pullet. But she has started mounting my laying hen every chance she gets. She's about 25 weeks and not a single egg yet. I thought White Rock chickens were supposed to start laying around 20 weeks? My laying hen is an Easter Egger...

We got a batch of six chicks from a local feed store about 16 weeks ago, two RIRs, two Black Stars, and two White Rocks. We've been convinced all of them were hens until just this week, when one of our girls, ChickPea, has started acting a lot like a roo. She's started to yell, but it's more...

Hey guys, So I’m thinking of trying to breed my own meat birds instead of purchasing the Cornish x chicks. My thought is to get a Dark Cornish roo and 5 ish white rock hens. I completely understand they will not be like the Cornish x I have been purchasing BUT I am looking to get a larger bird...

Need help. I cannot have Roos, 1st time chicken mama

I have a white rock hen who is 9 months old and ever since she was about 1 month old she will look down at her feet and shake her head side to side and walk and something run backwards about 5+ feet. It started getting better as she got older and it became rare when she would do it but now she...

We have 20 hens and 1 rooster. Our Rhode Island reds have all kinds of feathers missing on their backs. We've checked for mites or lice but don't see any. Maybe we are missing them? Pur white rocks look healthy, the rooster looks deathly, but some of the barred rock are missing feathers as well...

Been following for a while now, in anticipation of owning my own. That day has come. We have six chicks (3 wks old now). Two RIR, two White Rock, and two Hard Rock. We've named them and renamed them so when they've held the name for more than a week then we'll share that bit of info. How...

Sweetie rules the roost!!!!

So the internet is a wonderful thing, except I can't tell when we are all talking about the same breed. So sorry if this has been asked, but I couldn't find it when I searched. So Ontario folks, I am looking at buying meat birds from either Frey's or Bonnie's hatcheries and they list White...

I'm going to be ordering my day old white rocks and had a few questions for those of you with past experience. The females or non-sexed are $2.30 and the males $2.50. I am thinking its worth the extra .20 per bird for a larger product, would you agree? Or is there really not much diffe How...
