    I don't know that much about the Barred Plymouth Rocks but my Silver Penciled Plymouth Rocks are very broody. :)

    I did good with my April & May hatch as out of 19 chicks I got 14 pullets but with my June hatch it looks to be going quite different. I guess my luck ran out with this June hatch. lol :/

    Well it looks like my 10 "5 week old June hatched Silver Penciled Plymouth Rock chicks" may all be cockerel chicks. :/ Hopefully I will get a few more pullet chicks out of my 23 "1 week old July hatched chicks" to go with my 14 pullets from my "April & May hatched chicks" to grow out. :)

    I wouldn't think the Dark Brahmas are the cause of the problems you are seeing in your birds and in my opinion if a Silver Penciled Plymouth Rock breeder was going to outcross the Dark Brahmas would be one I would use. :)

    A very nice day to sit back and watch my Silver Penciled Plymouth Rock chicks foraging around on the yard. :)

    I would have to agree with Joe & Fred as one of my Silver Penciled Plymouth Rock lines has had a recent outcross to the Dark Brahamas and I have not hatched any with Rose/Pea comb or a Columbian pattern males out of this line. There is definitely better SPR birds out there to start with...

    Hi Fred, the 4 in this picture was all hatched in April. The cockerel was setting down behind the three pullets. The pullet in the foreground was larger at hatch and has continue to pull away from the other two pullets. I really do like the way she look and hope she continues to fill out nicely. :)

    Hi Tom, at best my SPR chicks are a light cream with a hint of gray on sides of body with the chestnut down the center of the back. I have only used my lighter pullets "in chick down & feather plumage coloring" that showed no brownish cast in the breeding pens so I think that has helped me to...
