Amrock chicken.

Amrocks are actually a production version of Plymouth Rocks a.k.a. Barred Rocks. There is also a production version of the Rhode Island Red and a production version of the White Leghorn. Those production versions are used primarily in our agricultural industry and make most of the eggs and meat, besides Cornish.

That´s right. Amrock are also unknown in Great Britain.

In Europe Plymouth Rock come in different colors and are an excellent show birds. They lay about 190 eggs per year (bantam 180) .
Amrock are only known in barred and lay about 220 eggs per year (bantam 190). Amrock and Plymouth differ in shape.
Amrocks are the layers, Plymouth Rock are the "sportive" versions.
 
In Germany the Amrocks are very popular. Thay are calm, vital and perfect dual-purpose chickens. They rank under the TOP 10 most frequently raised largefowl in Backyard breeders. They came after WW2 to us and the german did a Little bit of work into them. They were accepted in Germany in 1957. In made a short Video review About them. Would be happy if you give it a try:
