Plymouth Rock thread!

[seminolewind]

I just have to thank SpeckledHen. She said Barred rocks were one of her favorite breeds. I was curious. Well last year my neighbor gave me a BR with a broken leg. She lived in a sling on my patio for 6 weeks. We just fell in love with her. Just so inquisitive and I think she liked us. Well, I decided to get another one. Actually 3 but long story. She is in my tub with 2 other chicks. Out of the 3 of them she is the one who wants to sit on my arm, peck my rings, and get closer. And when I get up to leave, she does some flights like "look at me!" And she doesn't really like it when the 2 other chicks come near me. But not mean, she just makes sure that she is the closest. I think I will get more in the future. And the name. My adult one is named Fern (yes I copied) and I need to name the chick Little Fern-I don't know why but it fits her, so I'll just have two Ferns!

Thanks, Cynthia!!!!

Figured I'd post a picture of our only Plymouth Rock this year. Here is Rosa, she's 26 weeks and laying daily now. Something is up with her comb and hoping it's not genetic as I really like her size and type. And there's not been a black rock picture in a while.

A better look at the comb; splits before last lobe.

That is the first black rock I have seen. They are very rare and hard to find. Someone a year ago so ago told me they had large version. I think only batnam are reconized.

Heres some pics of my crew today. I have them up in the breeding pen, so they arent real happy. They were free ranging over 10 acres all summer.

She's actually a Blue Rock in black color. BBS, one of Halo's brood that hatched dispite all my interferences.

I have a black Rock from halo in addition to two blue Rocks and one splash Rock. Emily is super broody. Has been broody three times, but darn it, she quits every time before hatch date. We love her anyway.
