Well to get my brother started into breeding the Silver Penciled Plymouth Rocks I set him up with a breeding pen today that consist of a Padgett cockerel over 6 Horstman pullets at his place and this will be breeding pen #3.

I have the other two breeding pen setups for this year that consist of a Horstman cockerel over 3 Padgett pullets and this will be breeding pen #1.
The other will have a Padgett cockerel over 4 Padgett pullets and this will be breeding pen #2.

Hi All, I will be breeding the Horstman cockerel to a few Padgett pullets this year and this will be breeding pen #1. I will also have a Padgett cockerel over Padgett pullets and this will be breeding pen #2. As for the Horstman pullets they are in the hands of my brother and I am very happy in that he also is very interested in the Silver Penciled Plymouth Rocks and will be joining me in the breeding of the Silver Penciled Plymouth Rocks. He will have a Padgett cockerel over the Horstman pullets and this will be breeding pen #3. His house is only 3 miles from mine and he is just as crazy about the Silver Penciled Plymouth Rocks as I am so the upcoming years will definitely be fun.

The two pictures below are my 10 month old Horstman cockerel over three Padgett pullets that are 5 months old. " breeding pen #1".

The three pictures below are my 5 month old Padgett cockerel over four Padgett pullets which are also 5 months old "breeding pen #2".

What are good fertility numbers for rocks I am getting around 80 to 90% fertility. And 76% of eggs set hatch successfully.

I've been getting 90% hatch rates out of my Barred Rocks.

Well it was a test hatch. And like only two or three didn't hatch I couldn't remember, but other than that they've been doing really well
