"Next time I will take a look!"

"With sadness, this morning, I returned Jones. This is the second trip back to the store ... the first time, they convinced me that Jones was a she.. and I took her/him home again. They were the ones who checked the vent, not a vet.

Even if a she,…"

"Jones' (19 week old Plymouth Barred Rock)crow has continued to develop in amplitutde and quantity.... and now he/she has started mounting/male sexual activity!"

"I would love to be able to buy organic feed near downtown Mesa. If not Mesa Feed Barn, how about Pet Club on Country Club and 1st Avenue, just south of Main Street? They already sell the standard chicken feed.

"where is sunburst farms located? i may be interested if its not too far away ?"

"I also have a loud chicken I would like to get rid of , she/ he is very noisy even after eating and sometime gets noisier after spraying water. She / He is a Silky and kinda fun looking...we are near the sunburst farm area if anyone wants it."

"FYI, Jones is back to her dominating behavior and no longer acts sickly. she did not like being separated from the others. thanks for the website, it had lots of good info... I also referred to the Chicken Health Handbook, available in the Phoenix…"

"Jones/Jonie .... gradually, since the trip to the feed store has become more subdued. she rarely tries to dominate the other chickens. she still looks as pretty as ever, but sits around, and is losing feathers and weight (she is able to squeeze…"

"thank you both for helping my peace of mind. I agree that she is pretty and they (chickens) are amazingly entertaining. as for spurs, I've attached a photo of her legs; there are little nubs.jones's legs.JPG"

"Looks like a girl to me too. For basically the reasons that Chris states. I'm not 100% sure but I'm pretty certain. I went out and looked at my barred rock hen and her comb and wattles are just as big. At 15 weeks, you should only have to wait…"

"these photos did not come through, so I'll try again.jone's back15 wk.JPGjone's tail2.JPGjone's tail-15wk.JPG"

"here are the other 3 photos.jones-15 wks.JPG"

"Jones is 15 weeks old and the folks at Gordon's feed store said she looks and sounds like a hen. they did not do a physical exam. Attached are 6 photos. the comparison photo is to show what the other Barred Rock looks like, who is exactly the same…"

"I have had crowing hens too. It's never been completely mistakable for a rooster, though very loud. How old is Jones? What made them think "he" was a "she"? I'd love to see a photo if you could post one. :) Depending on how old he/she is, there…"

"I took Jones (Barred Rock "rooster") to the feed store yesterday, planning to leave him, not knowing what else to do. investing in an ax seemed like a dismal prospect.... and they said that Jones is a she! in spite of crowing every morning between 5…"

"I've seen the people that frequent Pratt's as they shop for roosters, and I'm afraid some of those roosters are destined for cock fighting. I got this impression by observing the way some of these customers thoroughly examine the roosters before…"
