Very true, but don’t forget about Rocks-Anne!

Ned is actually a cross-bred. He's half barred rock and half Rhode Island Red...

And stunning!

One note: our Maxine, a Dominique, started laying this month on February 12 and has already laid 15 eggs.

Wow! How old is she?

I let Aurora know.

Aurora mocked Phyllis with the news

Phyllis was not happy

This must be Fake News.

In my world he is simply Ned. Very handsome (and very tall) and hopefully as much of a gentleman as his Dad Stanley

All my efforts at chicken education going to waste.

Not totally. I am more observant than I was - like I notice body type, and comb and even leg color. But I am realizing that most of the 'breeds' are made-up constructs, mainly in the 19th Century and some older.

She hatched on August 17, 2020.

Definitely won't forget Bridge - but not because she is a breed but because she is a pretty lady.

Oh and that reminds me. My soulmate was a Plymouth Rock, I thought that was the same as a barred rock. I think your research suggests they are different. Did I understand that right? Do I know a Plymouth Rock? Bridge and Rocks-Anne and Sydney are all Barred Rocks. Right?
I know, it doesn't matter. They are all lovely chickens regardless. Just curious!
