Thank you! Yes, he is such great quality, which is rare in the BPRs in our region. I have tried contacting 4H groups in the area before, without luck. I took your suggestion about FB and looked it up, but there isn't much.

Well-bred Barred Plymouth Rock rooster. 6 months old. Ready for a flock of his own. Bred to standard. Beautiful stock from a breeder- much higher quality than hatchery birds. Show quality/breeder quality, productive, and well-mannered. Very impressive growth. His barring is serious eye-candy...
