Barred Rocks usually lay their first egg at about 6 months old and will continue to produce eggs for up to two years on average. As the hen ages past two she will slow her egg production and by the time the hen has reached the complete end of her layer years she will be about 3 years old.
Barred rocks or Barred Plymouth Rock hens are somewhat early maturing birds and should start producing eggs about 20 to 24 weeks old. The first eggs will be somewhat small until they get going into what is often a good to excellent layer. The eggs of a standard Barred rock will be large size and range from pinkish to medium brown.
Barred Rock hens lay white eggs because eggshell color is determined by genetics, and the Barred Rock breed typically lays eggs with white shells. The color of the egg does not affect its nutritional value or taste.
Yes, barred rock chickens lay brown eggs that are edible, like eggs from other chicken breeds. Barred rock hens are known for being reliable layers of large brown eggs. These eggs are nutritious and safe to eat when properly handled and cooked.
They lay eggs
The color of the hen's feathers has little to do with the egg shell color. A black hen can lay a white egg or a brown egg...you might even find one that lays blue eggs.Actually, its the skin around the sides of the face (known as "earlobes") that correlateswith egg color. The egg color and the earlobe color do not match,rather it is possible to predict the color of a hen's eggs by looking ather earlobes. In general, the darker the earlobes, the darker the eggs.Hens with white earlobes usually produce white eggs. Hens with red,brown, or black earlobes usually lay brown eggs.There are many exceptions to this rule, though. For example, chickens of the Silkiebreed often have blue or black earlobes and they generally lay whiteeggs.

under large rocks in a river
Usually at the bottom of the tank in the rocks.
Go to and hatchery website and select brown egg layers. You can tell from cross bred chickens by the color of the feathers around there ear canal. White=white egg, brown=brown egg. On our farm the best brown egg layers are Rhode Island Reds (production or heritage), Barred Rocks, and Moyers ( a breed by Moyer Hatchery)
Barred Rock hens typically start laying eggs around 5 to 6 months of age, although this can vary slightly based on factors such as diet, environment, and individual genetics. Once they begin, they can lay about 3 to 5 eggs per week. Proper care and management can help ensure they reach maturity and start laying on time.
