This Okie thread was begun at 9:49 Sunday night, and we made 100 posts about 12 hours later...at 9:54 Monday morning. Are you angling a guess as to when we hit 3000 posts, okracefan?

Does he mean pages?

I don't know - everyone has the option to set their pages to show any number of posts, so not all of us will have the same page count...

I'm at the default number of posts per page and you just started 100 with that post City.

okracefan City is right,the tuff is an arucana thing. The Americana and EEs have "muffs" and beards. Its the useage of the word tuffs that messes people up. Tuffs and muffs are no where near the same thing.

Hmmm - you are correct. Hey - do we cancel each other out when we post? NoCity & City?! Hee hee...

It's time for me to go to bed - goodnight everyOkie!

Hi everyone. Anyone here have Plymouth Rock hens? if yes, how is their rate of brooding? I saw were on BYC Home they say Seldom brood, but I've read other things and they say frequent. Can anyone help here?

I have my settings to show 75 posts per page and at that setting, we began page 14 about an hour ago.
In the top right of the post is the post number - so your post, to which I am replying, was post # 992

I've had several Barred Plymouth Rocks, and never had one brood. Mine are hatchery stock so are bred for maximum laying ability - I don't know if show quality would be different in the tendency to brood.

I do not know anything about the chickens of which you speak but I heard that they had a heck of a party at a place by the name of those chickens...but i don't nothing else...and I have people that will testify to that...

Same thing with the Partridge Rocks I used to have. They were not broody.

I have only had a few barred rocks (I am pretty sure that is the same thing as a Plymouth Rock hen) and none of those ever went broody - but I haven't had very many so my few barred rocks may not be representative of the breed. Buff orphingtons are supposed to be broody - but none of mine ever tried to set a nest of eggs. My only hens, other than the Saipan Jungle Fowl and Malays, that have had more than their share of broody hens were black sex links and Americauna hens.
