Barred Rocks were developed in New England in the early 1800's. They are now one of the all time favorites in the USA. With long broad bodies, yellow skin, and solid plumpness, these hens are not discouraged by cold weather. They are layers of brown eggs, and are average setters. Baby chicks are dark gray to black with some patches of white on body and head. The weight of a mature male is 9.5 lbs and the female is 7.5 lbs.
