I acquired these 2 birds and I was told they are show quality birds. Hen and roo. I don't know what kind they are. I know these are not the best photo's, but my camera is too slow to catch my chickens without blur! I also wondered about showing. It seems stressful, is it worth it? How will the flock feel about me taking 2 birds (the only roo and the alpha hen) and bringing them back after a day or 2?

Plymouth Rocks are the breed name, yours are the Partridge variety and they happen to be bantams and they are EXCELLENT Quality !!! Where did you get them from and would you sell any eggs from them?
 
I would definately sell some eggs, I don't know the 1st thing about shipping eggs, but I would be willing to give it a go. We were hoping someone would go broody this year and lay her eggs under the broody. Anyone know how likely this breed is to go broody? message me and I can discuss shipping eggs to you.

I got them from a guy at the NYS fair, things were so busy there that we had a hard time talking to the guy who owned them. We ended up with a "bantam" pullet that grew to be larger than our std chickens, that's what our inexperience got us. Love that hen anyway!
