White Plymouth Rock Blosl

[jermb11]

I have been looking for some large breed heritage birds for meat/eggs mainly for meat though. I know that the white rocks were the original meat birds before the cornish cross took everything over.

I am looking for some good quality white rocks for this purpose. I keep seeing a strain called Blosl. I read of him briefly to see who he was. And saw that he raised some very good birds. Can anyone point me in the direction of some Blosl strain breeders. Either eggs or day old chicks would be perfect.

Thanks for reading!

There are some that post there that knew Bob. They may know where his stock went.

Ken Weaver inherited Bob's birds, among just a few others.

Ken will sell you hatching eggs or live birds. WeaversRocks is his BYC name. Send him a private message.

One question I had, do you know if they have the "silver gene" ? I was just curious for future reference.

The blosls has the silver gene . Not the woeppells at least not any that I have hatched. They could carry but I'm not sure

If they have it they will show that smoky down
