Plymouth Rock : Buff Rock

Posted

Pros: Friendly, Alert

Cons: Needy

Have 3 pullets 4weeks old. They are the first up to the door to see whats going on. Have to be the center of attention. 1 is very spoiled has to be on my arm at all times. Gets along great with all the others.

Pros: Egg laying

Cons: skittish, mean, not nice!

I have 2 Buff Rocks in a mixed flock and they are the outsiders.  The other chickens don't like them, and I agree with the rest of my flock!  The Buff Rocks are skittish, hate interaction, are difficult to handle, and pick on any bird that comes near them.  I am not impressed.  I do like good layers, but not if they are yucky personalities.

Plymouth Rock : Buff Rock
Description:

Pure golden buff from feather base to tip. Intense yellow legs and beaks, bright red comb and wattle. Deep-well set body just as other Rocks.. sometimes a little smaller in size. They are fine winter layers of brown eggs and also good setters in late Spring. Baby chicks are a soft buff color right from the start. Source: Murray McMurray Hatchery Catalog
