The Plymouth Rock Breeders thread

I would like to breed show quality birds to standard . The man I got them from said they were from someone named bloom out of Florida.

Ok, do you have a Standard to refer to? I'll be glad to give you my opinion on each bird, but it will be important to have something to refer to for terminology, figures, etc

I'm going to the book store tomorrow to get the book. I would appreciate your opinion very much.

I do not know if the birds you posted are your complete breeding flock?

In any case, this pullet is the better bird of the those you posted. The Standard is only available from the APA.

Oh what I would give to have some White Rocks, Partridge Rocks and Buff Rocks. Does anyone have assorted hatching eggs on this thread?? Anyone???

If you read back over this thread, you'll see that virtually all the breeders on this thread have eggs/chicks that they will sell you.

Weavers Rocks has White Rocks, Wynette and Silver Rock have SPR. Cannot help you, off the top of my head with Partridge. The best way to approach this is to use the private message system.

I may be able to help with Barred Rocks. Drop me a pm.

Yes you can.

I hit the Christmas Special and got the hard cover, NICE BOOK for a deep discount. Supposedly, there is a paperback version that is also quite affordable.

Soooooooooo worth it!!! What a great book.

Ok, we'll look at each bird separately first, Let's call this one K1 (cockerel 1)

This bird seems to have
- decent size
- decent head
- decent barring

- lacks back
- lacks tail
- wing carriage is far from horizontal
- can't tell for certain, but legs don't appear to be yellow
