Barred Rock hens are no different from any other breed of chicken as far as feeding them is concerned. Good quality commercial feed is best as they provide all the daily requirements needed by the chicken. In prime laying age the hens should get a specially formulated layer feed along with mixed scratch thrown in the yard for a treat. If the birds are free range they should be fed prior to release from the coop each morning. Free range birds will supplement the food given by foraging in the farmyard for greens and bugs.
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.
they commonly eat bacteria off of rocks
Barred Rock chickens are purebred. The word 'barred' is just a term for color. Barred means like white with gray stripes, for example. 'Rock' is the breed.

Maybe it's hungry. When my turtle attempted to eat rocks, I fed it food, and it stopped. You must always feed your turtle to their fullest. If your turtle actually ate the rocks, you should see the vet immediately to check its stomach because no animal or person should eat rocks because it's inedible and very harmful to health. Hope this helped!

Plymouth Barred Rocks are generally known for their calm and friendly temperament. They are not typically aggressive and are often considered one of the more docile chicken breeds, making them suitable for families and backyard flocks. However, individual personalities can vary, and factors such as socialization and environment can influence behavior.
Most breeds can be mingled within a flock. It takes a few days for new chickens to settle in but RIR and Barred Rocks who are quite docile will get along fine.
None. No rocks can eat people unless they are aliens in disguise.
They eat rocks to cut up the food they eat with rocks they save in their throat. That's what i learned. (I'm 11 years.)
