Plymouth Rock thread!

Not 100% sure, but he looks just like my roos at 7 weeks, so I am leaning that way. My girls had tiny waddles and they were not even close to that bright red.

Thanks for your input! I'm really hoping for roo here. =D

That is good, was hoping I would not disappoint you

My Barred cross Roos are the best boys, not "rooish" rather friendly even though they are the biggest and as my kids call them the "rulers" of the other Roos. I have 9 Roos right now, 3 are Barred crosses. 4 are Silver Penciled Rocks and 2 are Barnevelders. The smallest of the SPR is a little pain in the you know what, he STRUTS everywhere.

Awesome! I'm keeping my fingers crossed! If it is a hen, that would be okay too but it is so pretty that I was hoping he would kind of be king of the coop. haha

Then, congratulations! It's a boy! No doubt about that one.

Does someone have pics of a Roo and pullet at about about 5 1/2 months. I have some Good Shepard Barred Rocks, bought them as roos, but I am thinking on is a pullet. Much smaller and comb has not really grown much not really red... I need to get pictures. I pulled her/him out because I thought she was being picked on and could not eat. So she is in a pen alone, with all the food she can eat and still she has not caught up to her brother. It would be fine if she is a pullet. I just wanted 2 roos so I would have a back up.

Okay, i'm concerned about my chicken. Is it normal for Barred Rock pullets to have 4 small spurs? She's two months old right now and everything else about her seems pullet-ish.

All pullets and cockerels have the tiny bumps on their legs, of all breeds. Not sure what you mean by four of them-would have to see a picture of that, but cockerels don't even get spurs until they are well over 7-8 months of age.
