Plymouth Rock thread!

My 5 month old Barred Rocks. Braille with the brighter yellow legs and Dusty who happened to look angry when I took the picture. I raised Braille from 4 days old and I got Dusty at 4 months. Gonna use them to breed with my RIR roo to get some black sex-links.

Pretty hens !

I have a mixed henhouse with 5 different gals and their personalities are so different. My BR is toward the bottom of their little order and tended to be a little bit of a shrinking violet, but lately (they're about 6 weeks old) has been perching as high up in their brooder as she can climb and then when I open it, LAUNCHING herself full force out of it. She often will do it several times before settling into whatever everyone else is doing (usually trying to see what food I have brought or wandering around the bathroom investigating). Are they known to be good flyers? Should I be concerned about her hopping my 6 foot stockade once she's out and full grown?

No. It looks like a barnyard mix (mutt) to me.

This is Snowflake our only rock who we were told was a leghorn... luckily some helpful people on here cleared up for me the day we got her. She is very sweet and quiet. We got her a week ago and we're told she was laying every 2 to 3 days, since being here she has laid an egg 5 out of the 6 days almost exactly 26 hours apart!!!
I know I'm new at this chicken thing but I'm impressed as she is only 5 months. I'm hoping shes not just spoiling us to get us to fall in love

Here's my new partridge rock girl, Gemma. I love her, she's my favorite of the ten babies I just got. So sweet and cuddly!!

Sorry to interrupt - can you all point me in the direction of who is selling 'quality' BR eggs these days? Looking for nice pure lines with good barring... Thanks al...

I'm writing an article and need pictures of different types of Plymouth Rocks. If you could share I would be very grateful!
