As some of you know, Ive been breeding my blue rock rooster to barred rock hens to try and produce more blue rocks, with hopefully better egg laying capabilities. Im growing out about 10 blue girls. They havent been easy to get, I seem to have the knack of hatching roosters. So with getting a lot of roosters, and black pullets, which Im selling, Ive only gotten about 10 blue girls to add to the herd. This is some of the oldest ones. Im getting some very good type with them, some not so good. Im getting some really nice lacing on them, which I dont have on my "pure" (for lack of a better term) blue rock hens. These are some of the oldest blue/barred girls, I think they are close to 3 months old.
