Blue Plymouth Rock

[Mybackyardpeepers]

Why just two? I have ten coming.

We already have 5 older chicks and the hubby agreed to 2 more. My daughter asked me to pick her up 2 blue rock cause they were clearanced. So now I have to decide which two to give her.

Well I went back... they were in a “straight run” bin... the lady and I spent forever picking through the chicks looking for 4 I wanted to take a chance on... if they aren’t what I think I may end up eating them...

They looked them up.. they were from freedom hatchery...
but being “str run” I would’ve expected more “male” (yellow dot on head”...
So I got one with a distinct yellow dot... two darker ones that I feel confident are not actual barred rock ... the bin was labeled “Plymouth rock” but they don’t fit anything for sure... and my last one was a very light one because I figured well what the heck... try this color and see what I end up with

I asked several workers to confirm mine were pullets. I have one very light one with yellow on head, so curious what it will look like later.

The light one is a male. The Plymouth blue rock was created to be a sex linked chick. The males are lighter in color yellow/white.

Oh no! LOL I know they claim the chicks are 90-95% supposed to be pullets. I picked up two light and two dark.

The bin at mine was straight run... so I probably have 2 of each as well... lol
But I was on the freedom ranger website and the woman and I were comparing their picture to try to pick... the light one didn’t make sense to either of us lol

I was told mine were sent as pullets.

My TSC had no idea if they were blue Plymouth rocks or not... so I have my doubts... but being from freedom ranger and looking at them I felt certain enough to take a chance!
