Good morning everyone,
I've been extremely busy lately. I had to take in a group of Silver Penciled Plymouth Rock bantams from a kid that's off to college. I'm going to be taking care of them and breeding them while he's in school. They are beautiful birds, I'll attach pictures below.

Hello BYC tribe! I wanted to share my ladies :) with you. My flock was first a flock of leghorns, that were rehomed to me from their original owners who were moving out of state.
And then we just recently adopted some rehomed hens. A white Plymouth and her 2 polish sisters. I’m new to all this...
Brand new to this chicken farm thing and have some 6-7 week old chicks. Hoping they are all pellets but could use some help! I’ve labeled and numbered each chicken. If you need more photos I can try and get more!!
Hello!
Beginner chick owner here. I've ordered some cold-hardy laying breeds specifically so that I could have my ladies out year round once they're fully grown (Buff Orpington, Barred Plymouth Rock, and Australorp). Before I get my chicks...how cold is too cold for them to be outdoors?
I have...
Free to a good home!
I have two Plymouth Rock Hens who are about a year and a half old. My girls have served me well over the last year but I haven't been able to give them the attention they deserve lately with a baby on the way. They each lay about 6 eggs a week. Located in College Station, TX.
I am relatively new to chickens, only owning my own flock for about six months. I have taken care of them longer but I am excited to have my own!
My flock of nine consists of three silkies, two Buff Orphingtons, two Ameraucaunas, one Barred Rock, and one Blue Lace Wyandotte (my favorite).
I...
The chicken in the very back is a silver laced wyandotte. Can anyone identify, with any degree of certainty, what the others are? I was told, by the person I purchased them from, that they are doms. But they have a single comb, so someone else told me they are rocks. Doesn’t really matter, as...
My Columbian Plymouth chick (around 3 days old, possibly more?) I just noticed her holding her foot up while eating today and checked it out. She has a dark red spot but seems to be eating, drinking and acting fine otherwise! I tried googling and couldn’t find anything clear so I thought I would...
We are new to chickens and love it. We bought 3 chicks that are now 4 weeks old but we're concerned the one may be a cockerel. I believe Plymouth Blue Rocks are a larger breed than the Black Sex Link and the Isa Brown that we have, but she is much larger than the other two birds. If she's a he...
Hello all! I'm new to this site, and new to chicken raising. After going to the hardware store to get a piece of metal I finally caved and got 3 baby barred rock pullets. (On September 12)
This site has more than helpful in answering most of my questions so far just by clicking through old...
Back Story:
So 6 years ago I bought some large fowl wheaten ameraucanas chicks from neighbors, they purchased their stock from John Blehm.
I also bought some heritage large fowl barred rocks that fall, I believe from Kraig Shafer at the Ohio Nationals.
While all were pinned together I had...
I've only been raising chickens for about a year and a half, but my hens have started to run away more and more frequently. I have two Easter Eggers, two Rhode Island reds, and two Plymouth Rock hens. They are free range, and have always stayed close to their coop. Their coop is regularly...
Hi. I'm very new to getting chickens and I just want to find out on average how many chicks a Plymouth hen can have?
I plan on getting two hens and one rooster and while the rooster is breeding with the first hen the second shall be laying and so the rotation will go.
I know there is a...
I am really confused. So you have your Plymouth Barred rock but then there are White Rocks and Buff rocks. When you refer to a Plymouth Rock chickens most people Assume Barred rocks(which i have). How did we get the different types? I guess what im trying to say is i dont understand that if...
Looking for 0-20ish week old Hens and or baby Muscovy ducks want one male and the rest to be females. I am willing to drive up to two hours to collect.
We're leaving for a one-week vacation and we're so scared this might be a Roo and start crowing while we are away. It would kick up quite a fuss in the quiet neighbourhood and might just get all the hens kicked out! PLEASE HELP! Roo or Hen? Approximately 15 weeks old.
