Plymouth Rock thread!

Saturday I am going to lebanon to get a white rock pullet/hen (not sure which) from Doug Akers. The cockerel I got is from him too.

Not the least bit jealous either. (big fat lie)

lol, I will take that as a complement

 

[Fred's Hens]

You should!!!!

 

[CCCCCCCCHICKENS]

You should!!!!

Do you have any from him? I know he has other breeds too. I met him at a show 2? years ago and I saw that cockerel at a show, and he was pretty

and of course had to email him to see if he had any females for sale

No, we do not have any of Doug's birds. Mr Akers is acknowledged as on the most distinguished Rock breeders. Good for you. The White Rock is particularly dear to my heart.

I do understand on the dispatching; I cannot dispatch birds that I hatch.  I do take them to someone who will do it & process them for me.  I thought for awhile I might have difficulty eating them, but thankfully, I don't.  It pleases me to know they lived a good life, and are now providing sustenance.  But, it's not for everyone.

Sounds like a neat show, and that you got some good feedback from the judge.  I love to hear about them giving detailed feedback!  You can learn SO much from them.  Who was the judge?

I don't remember his name now, I think if I didn't just plain like this cockerel I could eat him if someone else processed him. I just like his personality and he is so pretty. His brother has no side spig but I still don't favor him-he isn't at personable his tail isn't as full and his white is a little yellowed presumably from the sun. I'm so upset about this little tiny side sprig that makes my favorite SPR worthless.

I did see his name many times on the Plymouth Rock breeders website.
