Plymouth Rock thread!

OOOhh, that EE looks beautiful!

It does take some time for the males to get their beautiful adult feathering in; IMO, they don't look gorgeous until about 9-10 months. Then, they just keep getting better.

You can really see the SPPR influence on that EE. She's nice and large, which is not common for EEs. I'd like to continue with her.. I'm sure she will lay better than the hatchery EEs I have in the winter.

Oh great, they are going to make me wait forever for their prettiness. How am I ever going to choose which ones to process?

I know one for sure with a lot of brown, but many are identical. I can't very well raise 10 boys to 9-10 months to pick from. Any tricks to narrow it down some?

These are Canadian birds.....isn't that female DARN nice??!! I'd put her in my pens (she's just the wrong color darn it)

Pretty certain that Wynette is growing some out from this bloodline....she will have to confirm, but I think that's right

 

[Wynette]

What do you mean by THAT, she's the wrong color! Shame on you! She's exactly the RIGHT color!

Perhaps YOUR birds are the wrong color!

Tsk tsk.....

You know exactly what I mean

.....after the efforts put into "my"color, I couldn't start over. BUT, she would look good in your yard!!

That's one of the great things about Rocks. There's a color to please just about everybody.

AMEN Fred......I used to have visions of having some of every color.....NOT! That would only happen I guess if I get to a point of no longer being serious about annual improvement and just want variety

 

[Wynette]

You guys crack me up. For sure, there is a variety for anyone's fancy!

And yes, I am growing out some chicks - now juveniles - from PEI Chickens. I am MOST grateful to have them...I have thanked her so much now that she probably rolls her eyes every time she sees a note from me!

I will be keeping her line pure, and and hoping to begin hatching in very early spring. Once I've got a quadzillion on the ground for myself, I'll be happy to share the love & spread them around to anyone interested.

Great color for the pattern. Just not Columbian. But you should not be ashamed. You got great type and color and working to improve them.
