Plymouth Rock thread!

Thanks for info.  I thought it was genetics.  Sorry I didn't try the taping when she was a chick.

She seems to be leading a pretty happy life, crooked toes or not.

Our two SPR chicks (poulets???) home bred from our Horstman chickens. What do you all think?

They look awesome.

Very nice 4HGirl. I'm really starting to like the Silver Penciled Rocks.

Pretty sure I have a barred rock.... But she has a pea comb??? So I've been told to think maybe a Dominique? But I thought domes were relatively hard to find?? Opinions?

How old is your bird?

 

[CaptnGreever]

Around 10 weeks

I think it's Dominique which have rose combs. Barred Rocks have single combs. There are some around but they are rare.
