Started my backyard chicken flock three years ago. I keep about 14 at all times. Mostly RIR and Golden Comet laying hens. One Barred Rock rooster just for noise. He's a cool dude and laid back. Not the least bit aggressive.
I have 4 rir nd 3 tetra browns . I've gotten 26 eggs in the last 4 days with 7 hens. Im glad to hear the barred rocks make good roosters.I got 6 of them and I was hoping for a good rooster. the rir roosters I had where mean as a snake !
