We are so delighted to hear that your Barred Plymouth Rock chicks arrived in good condition. Thank you Patty for your review! Barred Plymouth Rocks are very friendly, great layers of large brown eggs, and one of the best breeds for beginners. We hope you enjoy having them in your flock!
We have to agree the Barred Plymouth Rocks are great as one of the most popular breeds for any backyard flock! They tend to have great personalities and as you said, provide so many wonderful eggs to their flock keepers! And, the roosters - they are absolutely wonderful as they look after their girls but are known to be more calm and are pleasant fellas to be around!
“Best little backyard chickies around! In 11 years of keeping chickens, I have only had 2 Barred Rocks, so this year I added 2 more. They are by far the friendliest peeps in my order, and have personalities that say "Boss Hens" in the making. They are fearless, healthy, social girls who love to be in my lap or on my shoulder, follow me everywhere, and challenge my adult hens. There is a reason they are considered one of the best backyard breeds around, and these girls do not disappoint!”
Look at that face! So cute and you can see the feisty glimmer in her eye! As you have shared, Barred Rocks are definitely a great addition to any backyard flock! Thank you for taking the time to share your photos and experiences with us!
