12 plymouth barred rock chicken hatching eggs #1 layers
I feel my Barred Rocks are among some of the best in the area and exhibit the true characteristics of the breed. I have listed a small description of the breed below for those not familiar with them.
Plymouth Rocks are large, long-lived chickens. They possess a long, broad back; a moderately deep, full breast; and yellow skin and legs. The hens have a deep, full abdomen, which is a sign of a good layer. The face of a Plymouth Rock is red with red ear lobes, a bright yellow beak, bay-colored eyes, and a single comb of moderate size. Their feathers are fairly loosely held but not so long as to easily tangle. They a very cold hardy and good layers even during cold periods.
These by far are my best layers. It makes no difference what time of the year you can count on full nest boxes when you go to the hen house. As for the roosters they are great table fair, but you may want to keep them around if you are going to free range your birds. The Roo's are very protective of their hens and will keep them safe.
