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.

What color eggs do barred rock chickens lay?

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.
