The Reliable, Steady, Egg-Laying Barred Rock

When you think of an all-American backyard chicken, the Barred Rock should come to mind. Its unique black-and-white stripes, triangular-shaped body, red face and comb…all make this chicken distinguishable from other breeds. It may not lay as many eggs as other egg-laying breeds, but its reliability and hardiness—along with its meat-producing qualities—make up for any shortcomings in that department.

The Barred Rocks’ Heritage

Barred Rock chickens were first bred in the 1800s, when Black Javas and Dominiques were crossed. These chickens have been steadily supplying American homesteads with eggs for many generations.

The Celebrated Characteristics of Barred Rocks

A docile breed, Barred Rock hens will start laying eggs at 20 weeks of age, and will reliably provide 200 large, light-brown eggs per year. Barred Rock hens can weigh up to 7.5 pounds, while roosters will top out at around 9.5 pounds. Their large size, along with their yellow skin, make them great choices for rich, heavy roasters.
