I have supposedly 4 blue plymouths right? But I have two hens with gold leakage? Maybe gold laced Wyandotte cross? All have single combs. I have one hen that’s looks to standard in a way and a rooster that looks like a blue australorp RIR and barred rock cross? The rooster is my favorite named terry. Short for teriyaki!! But places share any insight. More out of curiosity than “worriedness”
 
Real "blue Plymouth Rocks" are very rare.
But what is very common is a hybrid mixed breed sex linked cross that some hatcheries are labeling as Blue Rocks or Plymouth Blue Rocks, etc.
They're sex linked so the females are Blue and the males are Blue Barred.
Then to complicate things some have bred in a different hybrid that is mostly red so that's why the leakage is showing up with some from some hatcheries.
This all started with Hoovers and others followed suit. Hoovers called theirs Sapphire Gems and then later bred in their Calico Princess.
