“Our Barred Rock is the surprise favorite. We got her as an afterthought, and she has become my family's favorite. She's hardy, the first chick to start laying, bold but not aggressive at all, the first chicken to figure stuff out, and very friendly. She is one smart hen, and she's also a looker. All around winner.”
“My Barred Plymouth Rock is very friendly and curious. She like to sit with me, occasionally in my lap. She's somewhere in the middle of the pecking order. Doesn't cause trouble, not at all skittish. Can't wait til she starts to lay! We are only at 3.5 months now. Would definitely get this breed again.”
“We ordered five chicks. They all survived transportation to Florida. One was lethargic but survived with some eggs and electrolytes. They are a week old now. They are already so spunky and fun!”
“I bought a batch of chicks 8 years ago. One of them was a BR rooster. I cuddled him and petted him and rubbed his comb and waddles for 6 straight months from the day I got him from this company. He is amazing!!!! He has protected his ladies from hawks and critters in the coop, he is a super gentle and still eats treats right out of my hand! I let my 5 year old play outside after I let the chickens out in the yard on occasion with no worries he will attack her. And his spurs are massive! If he wanted to do damage he certainly could. He is such a wonderful and gentle bird but is starting to decline so when I decided to add a new rooster to the flock I had to come back to order from My Pet Chicken again!”
“I purchased one of this breed from MPC, and Ruby remained my favorite for years. She was a great pet and did a good job with the eggs. Well worth the money.”
“We have a Barred rock named Clara she is seven years old, lays a lot of eggs, and is very bossy, I really do love her, and she is a great pet. I definitely would recommend Barred Rocks to you!”
“Arrived healthy and happy. She's turned out to be the friendliest, most inquisitive of the flock. She just loves to look at me deeply in the eyes, turning her head side to side, almost like a dog does! We just love her. A gorgeous, reliable egg-layer, with personality and a sweet disposition. She's the perfect addition to our mixed flock.”
