These are some of the sweetest birds that one can ever own. The Barred Rock is definitely a favorite among chicken owners past and present. There is a special sparkle in their eyes that really pulls you in. Black and white feathers cover their body forming little stripes or “bars”, which is where the breeds name originates. Brightly colored shiny combs proudly stand atop their heads as a bold indicator of good health and hardiness. The calm and passive nature of the Barred Plymouth Rock make them an absolute ease and joy to care for. These birds enjoy being grouped with others of its kind or being mixed with other docile breeds. They are curious creatures that enjoy seeking insects and scratching around also making them entertaining to watch. This breed will do well in all climates. They are very good layers providing a light brown to peachy colored eggs throughout the year. Most hens will reach an average of 6 pounds and roosters about 7 1/2.
