Any day now, Justin.Hi all. My name is Justin and I’m in Australia. Been a long time chicken holder. Since I was a kid, now 37yo. Never had Plymouth Rock. At what age do these little gems start to lay? I’ve had them 26 weeks now. They are well looked after, pen is cleaned every week, good feed, clean water, clean nests. From what I’ve read they start lay around 28 weeks. Late starters.
Haha! My thoughts exactly!Any day now, Justin.
Yep, same here.Haha! My thoughts exactly!
Haha! Love it! Yeah I’ve definitely noticed the Plymouth Rock are a very docile and friendly breed. Both hens and roosters let me pay them. Unlike my coronation Sussex which are extremely flighty and on edge. Won’t let me near them.Yep, same here.
My second in command is a Barred Rock, Rosie, she started laying around 28 weeks and is very vocal but lovable. She allows you to pick her up, anyone not just me, and she will sit on your lap and if you talk to her she answers. She defends the first in command, my Leghorn, and won't let anyone punk anyone else! We call her 'Nosie' Rosie bc she is the first one out of the coop looking around no matter what time of day it is and will follow you every where.
Oh My ..... haha That's funny. I'm happy to hear that even tho ... You would gladly get another. Mine are all pretty young. So, I haven't seen any 'feisty' behavior. But, I'm always watching.I'm glad your Barred Rock is so sweet, but my Big Rhonda is feisty as hell.View attachment 3211059
She yells and complains to me all day, picks on the other hens, and when I'm picking fresh tomatoes from my garden that I've been waiting so patiently for, she jumps up and takes bites out of the tomatoes.
But even with that said, I would gladly take another BR hen. She's healthy, lays well, and is quite hilarious.
