Plymouth Rock thread!

[DMRippy]

I love, love LOVE my barred rock! She's quickly becoming my favorite (I'm a nouveau chicken keeper)... I brought my 4 pullets from the farm on Saturday (1 barred rock, 1 RIR, 2 Ameraucanas). My Helen is such a curious, friendly, playful girl!

Here's a pic of her staring at my camera today....

How old is she? She looks small but has red comb and wattles. I just traded some today that were about 4 months old and no red combs on them at all.

I bought them last Sat and the lady at the farm said they were all 3.5 months old.

Quote: If you can get a shot from the side that would help but I think you ended up with a few roos from her.......

I was going to say 14-16 weeks so that's right on the money. I'm certain she is a she. Production type, but looks very much like my very first Barred Rock named Dixie

My first glance said "Boy" to me as well... isn't that a lot of white for a girl, as well as the wattles? I'm new to Rocks, though (I have a young pair), so no authority here at all.

Oh, boy!! Really?!

Here... What do you think?

Aoxa I hope you're right!!!!

Thanks! Very reassuring Funny because my Easter Eggers raised some concern over on the Ameraucana thread! They are still discussing if they are roos or not.
