Two-legged kind,too.posting.php?mode=post&f=33#
40 years ago, I would have been referring to a different kind

Neighbor delivered 25 +1 Barred Rocks yesterday
The +1 came when there was one poor little bird that had hardly no feathers and was getting picked on.

My (almost 15 yo) daughter is excited.

She's like a Mother Hen but once they get out of the cuteness that may change.

My wife is way less than thrilled.

She is an anti-prepper.

I picked Barred Rocks because eggs aren't as important as meat to me but the Rocks are good enough layers to more than care for our needs.

Have a little bit of work to do on the coop.
It hasn't been used in 50 or so years but in surprising good shape.

The peeps are in the basement now

You got to post some pics!

Will do, Rubies

Thanks, just love seeing those little guys.

If I can figure out how to post the pics here, I'll put some up

Let's try this

Her's the rest

So cute!!!
What are the brown ones? they look so adorable.

I asked for all Barred Rock

Not sure if that's what I got

Those *might* be white rocks. Barred rocks are black as babies, with a white dot on the head. The little chipmunk striped ones look like they could be easter eggers.

They're starting to feather out a little on the wing tips.
Some are starting to show a little resemblance to barred rocks based on very preliminary look
Neighbor told he me could give me barred rock
If he sold me other than that, I'll get mine mail order next year

If they're white rocks, they will still be dual purpose & size out like the Barred Rocks. But those are definitely not Barred Rocks.

I think I have some different ones.
There seem to be some barred rocks but they're definitely not all barred rocks.

Yahooooo! the banty hen that was setting hatched out at least 8 chicks. I got a look at them when she was at the feed pan yesterday morning. I got 3 more hens setting plus 4 ducks...... Just can't beat mother natures incubator.

Way to go.
Can we start calling you Mother Hen?
