Hi Kathy! It's a strong possibility, then!
I usually wouldn't even be thinking of he/she at that age, except there are the head-spotted boys to use as a comparison.
Thanks again! They are delightful, robust chicks!

I meant, those you kept as your breeders

I know you were very particular about the birds you hung on to.. And I say well done

One of them look like my Blue Rock pullet I had.....they are beautiful!

 

[mikarod]

Very stunning birds!

Quick question: Are these birds still in progress as a variety? I thought all Plymouth Rocks were to have yellow legs and beaks?

 

[EweSheep]

They've been around for some time but it is not too many breeders here in the US that breeds them.

Blues were introduced, according to the S of P, around the 1920's, I believe. The color blue includes dusky slate legs, with yellow on the bottom of their feet. I dont remember what it said about beaks, Ill have to go check.

 

[EweSheep]

Horn colored if I remember right. Even black or near black beaks would be OK too. Not sure if their eyes would be darker than yellow or green.

S&P BEAK: Horn Shading to yellow at point.
