Plymouth Rock thread!

Actually, with certain types of dwarfism, they are more resistant to certain diseases, I've read. Interesting, isn't it? I hope Chance is around for a good long time.

Very interesting indeed! Sounds like I have some reading to do, always new stuff to learn with chickens.

Still think cockeral? Hatch date 12/25/11 almost 8 weeks old

I would say a pullet due to the black barring being equal or wider that the gray barring. I would go as far as to make a bet that it is a pullet..98% sure

Id have to say boy, if I had to guess, since it has quite a bit of comb at 8 weeks and its very pink already. Also the pullets usually have a pretty good amount of black wash down the front of the legs, and this guy has very yellow legs. Really giving mixed signals, tho.

I would say cockerel. His comb is pretty pink and he has prominent wattles for 8 weeks. His legs are pretty yellow too, boys tend to get yellow legs a lot sooner than pullets.

Still a roo, no wash down the legs, no tail feathers really and red comb and waddles.

I haven't given up hope yet. LOL although hope is shrinking more and more


It's still a sweet little bird.



Question about Colombian Rock pattern. Will the color 'clear' as the bird matures? Some of my colombians have a lot of black on their backs. Will that gradually go away as the bird gets older?
