All Rocks my favorite!
Thx for sharing the beautiful pics of your Partridge’s growing! Here’s my story of raising Plymouth Rocks so far...
I fell in love with my 4 barred rocks Spring 2018 that I ordered with my son’s Cornish Rock x for 4H meat project.
I lost 3 all my fault for allowing access to my new 4H Spring hogs assuming they’d be OK since the 1 winter show hog was their buddy. Lesson learned, hog pen covered with chicken wire now not allowing access.
I now have 2 more barred, 2 buff, and two white rock pullets I adore that are now 6 mos old.
2 barred and 1 white, are kept at my Mom’s farm that I look after as well..leaving me 3 needing more as I plan on 10 hens in on avg at all times.
I added another batch of 10 pullets that are 2 wks old...2 partridge rocks, 3 Salmon Faverolles, 2 langshan, 2 more barred rocks, and an unknown “rare breed pullet” all from Ideal.
So far, my Partridge Rocks are truly my favorite..sweet and beautiful. 2nd favorite is the very docile Langshans. 3rd are the Salmon Faverolles although they peep shrill like I’m murdering them when I hold. My least are the two barred rocks are pushy and flighty..and peck my hand when I hold!...
Here’s a picture of one of my new Partridge... plan to sneak Silver Penciled Rocks in the Cornish Rock x order next Spring...shhh, husband doesn’t know about chicken math yey
