Heritage Plymouth Barred Rock/Show Quality Rock Thread

[MysteryChicken]

How do you know if your barred rocks are heritage or not? The guy I bought my 4 from didn’t say they were but I’m just curious.

Heritage have even crisp barring, lack of a rump, & a more square body shape.

My chicken Pebbles with her fantastic barring. She was a beautiful girl.

They aren’t heritage, but they are still amazing!

Heritage are beautiful, but for some reason I prefer barred rocks with feathering like Pebbles had. Bold barring with larger white space. I would die for a heritage though! And another chicken like Pebbles.

I am not planning on making him a show bird, (frypan bargain) Just thought I would show you guys and see what you think. 4 months old.

He has nice barring, but not perfect. He's still handsome.

Normally I am not interested in BR, but he seems handsome.

He is handsome. His body type is more slender then what it should be. Other than that he's lovely.
