The Plymouth Rock Breeders thread

[beausonge]

I have some Partridge from Horstman.... they are nice birds.  They are bigger than my SPPR from him.  When I get a pen to put them in I will get some pics.  Chicks are a good choice. 

I am looking forward to seeing them. It looks like I will be getting the chicks sometime at the end of April or first part of May. So please share away as yours grow!

Now THAT'S the spirit!!!  Keep that attitude and you will go far!

I have been a Registered Nurse for 30 years and it is simply mind boggling the changes that have occurred in medicine. I learn many things on a daily basis and wouldn't want it any other way.

As to your weather - wishing you well in getting through some tough looking weather headed your way. We have also had a really cold winter in our normally mold winter part of Washington state.

Well, we DO get mold if you don't keep your coops clean and dry but the weather is usually MILD...

A little late on the post but my 2014 breeding goals are:

Barred: improve barring with the second generation from a white out cross

Buff: my colour is very good. But would like to increase size and decrease cushion.

Columbian: improve mossiness over the back and wing colour

Partridge the size is very good. Would like to improve leg colour of the females.

Silver penciled: due to unfortunate circumstances I am down to one pair so the goal this year is to get a sustainable population.

Whites: maintain
