Plymouth Rock thread!

Congrats on the awesome hatch, Chris!

Congrats on Columbian fertility, Scott! WOOT! I know you've been uber excited about them!

Thanks, Scott - I have a cage I can pop them into if I need to end up bringing them inside. She has been an absolutely devoted broody, rarely getting up at all. I can tell she's been turning them by the re-arrangement of blue and brown eggs. Here's hoping that's a sign to indicate she'll be a good Mama. I'll post pics of the Rocks when they hatch. I'd love some of those Columbia Rocks next! I will have a Rock collection!!

Yard full o' rocks :

Morning all.....

Chilly here today (at least by Southern standards...40F this morning and boy it feels good)

Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Just checking in to say

......I just checked my eggs in the 'bator and "Houston, we have fertility!!"

First set of Columbian Rock eggs were a bust. Not a single one fertile. But this time, I put 11 in and it appears they are ALL growing.

At any rate, baby Columbian rocks are growing....now I'm off to the land of "perpetual job hunting...again"

Everyone have a GREAT day

Congratulations!

it is chilly here too only 43 outside at the moment!

now we just have to wait; for almost a month to see what happens next!

Have a great day everyone and be safe.​

Hi everyone, thought I'd share a few pics of the b/b/b/s rocks that I got from Yard Full o' Rocks(thanks again BTW!) back in the spring. 05/14/10 hatch date, 21/24 hatched, 15 survivors. Roos- 3 Barred, 2 each Blue and Black. Pullets- 4 Blues, 2 each Black and Splash. Everyone has transitioned to the main flock well and i'm looking for the pullets to begin laying soon. The roos are sorting out who's the king, and so far my RIR roo hasn't ruffed them up yet!

biggest black roo

biggest blue roo

the ghost barred( who's been crowing for a week now)

and a few of them grazing.

Spring can't get here soon enough!!

Hey, thanks so much for sharing with us! I love the way that Barred roo is posing for you. Looks like you have some good size on those birds. Scott is a great guy, isn't he!

Kath,

Are you going to sell any of your barred rock eggs? If so I would love to be placed on your list. I am dying to start a line of beautiful (non hatchery) barred rocks.

I got them from Jeremy Woeppel of XW Poultry Ranch in Chambers, NE. His email is: [email protected]

Ah ok. Thank you for his contact information. I think that it is a shame that SOP barred rocks are very hard to find.
