Beautiful bird!

I know that Jim Cox got his Blue Rocks from Gordie........so thats old news for me LOL!

Crossing a barred rock roo over blue hens will give blue barred, it would be cool to see that color in plymouth rocks. If you cross a blue roo on barred hens you will get sexlinks, the males will be blue barred or barred and the females will be blue or black.

Thats what I plan on doing; Im trying to get some nice barred hens, and maybe a barred roo if I can get one of good enough quality. Should be fun.

Halo, if I am not mistaken, I think its a pullet, not a cockeral! Sorry to burst your bubble!

Her neck feathers and tail feathers are not pointed, more rounded like a pullet. Congrats!

My blue rocks are due to hatch this coming week. I hope they're as nice as yours......I guess since they'll be related they should be!!

These are the two Blue Rocks I had.

This is the Blue Rock pullet I lost earlier this year from egg impactation.

These are Gordie's Blue Rocks, the parents of my Blue Rocks and Jim's Blue Rocks.

Great pics, Ewe. Im still hopeful hes a boy, only because he's very young yet, I think he was hatched end of February. He has 2 other splash and one blue siblings that Im positive are hens...they dont even have the start of a comb or a wattle. Ive added a picture of one of the splash hens for comparison. Let me know what you think.
