Rustic Rock? What is this cross?

Hoover’s has come out with another new one… Blue Legged Beauties

So sad that most chicken owners are trading their heritage breeds for hybrids. My flock is mostly heritage breeds. (australorps, mixed chickens, marans, RIRs, Dominiques, and more. Lets keep these heritage breeds alive!

I recently purchased a few pullets that were labeled Rustic Rocks. They are small black chicks with a yellow dot on top of their head. I cant seem to find any information about this breed or cross on google. I was thinking maybe Maran and Barred Rock cross. Does anyone know what cross this consists of?

According to their site or my understanding is they are Plymouth Rock chickens that were later named bar rock due to the site. Here’s the link as it’s explained-ish. The hatchery.

I have an adult hen for reference- let me go get a picture real quick. She just started laying she’s about 25 weeks old I think.

Hi! We just bought some. Did you ever figure it out? Is the eggs dark brown?
