Very very cold rain (with the possibility of snow) tonight and tomorrow here in SW Missouri. I am about 45 mi north of Joplin, and the forecast is 80% chance of precipitation. HOWEVER, the next day it is to get up to near 60*.

Why don't ya stop by and visit me, Jen? ! !

Hi all,

Soon to be a Pymouth Rock only back yarder so have been reading this thread (up to p. 65). Yeah, I could'nt resist Halo's BBS Rocks and will have her eggs in the bator next week. To allieve my OCD's and anticipation I've been internet jocking. Came across a free PDF book of the 1915 Plymouth Rock standard and breed by American Poultry Assoc; Smith, Arther Carlton.

It's 448 pages full of origins, standards, variety specific evaluations, prints, etc.
The Standard starts p. 108 (p. 112 of the PDF file).

Enjoy!

I have Barred Rocks. I have one special one. I call her Bernice, or Bernie for short. She is one of the few hens that survived the dog attack. She follows me everywhere I go, she even comes up to the door and knocks with her beak wanting us to come outside.

I have about 12 barred rocks.

This is Bernie (She's the barred rock, LOL)

Here she is again playing dead

Here are a few of the other ones

Ok folks....sorry I havent been here in a while. Been "job huntin" and raising chicks. Right now I have 20 little Col Rock chicks on the ground (ranging from 2 to 8 weeks old).

The trio I got from Canada is approx 1 yr old now (part were born March 2010, part April 2010....just dont remember which)

Here are a few pix of the 3 now that they have grown a bit.

Take care!!

Scott
