Plymouth Rock thread!

I think Iggy will be stunning, just like his older brother, Indy.

Oh, adding to the Plymouth Rock varieties posted, as aoxa requested, here is Alice Blue, 3 1/2 years old. She is finally looking better after her molt. Her sister, Neela, not so much, so will avoid pics of that girl till later. The blue Rocks are excellent layers just like the other Rocks, but they lay larger eggs than the heritage BR hens I have (thought those Stukel hens are a year younger)



Here is my splash Rock, Gloria Jean, in the background. She is 2 1/2, hatched with the Stukel Rocks

Oh man! I didn't even know there were Blue Rocks. Now I want one of those too. Need a bigger piece of land!

Oh, yes, Blue Rocks have been in the Standard since the 1920's.

Anyone remember, off the top of their head, when the Blue was accepted?

ETA: too slow. Asked and answered already. LOL

halo on BYC has some. I will in the spring I hope. tigercreek can make them and Brookhaven has them. tigercreek and Brookhaven theirs came from good Shepard barred rock crosses so they are nice quality birds too. tigercreek has some with the best lacing or edging I have ever seen on blue birds. Brookhaven might too....not sure if she has posted many solid bird pics....maybe she will pipe in and tigercreek can repost his pics.

Did you ever get a black boy from Scott to use in your project Donna?

Are these some of the results of the Cobb experimental bunch?

Yes if i'm not mistaken the same Cobb blood that Scott used in his Columbian line.
