Hello chicken keepers,
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, my favourite thing about keeping chooks is the diversity of chicken breeds available. I’m slightly addicted to spending inordinate amounts of time researching the many different plumage patterns, personalities and laying powers that different chook breeds possess. Totally normal, right?
Each week I will shine the coop light on a different chicken breed for us to coo over. Let’s have a little peck at the beautifully barred Plymouth Rock chicken breed.
The Plymouth Rock Chicken Breed
Plymouth Rock Chickens are hardy hens that can cope with cold, lay well throughout their lives and come in a wide range of pretty plumage colours and patterns. These all rounder chooks make a colourful and charismatic addition to any backyard chicken coop with their friendly temperament and affectionate manner. These chilled out lookers are a great addition to your chook flock or the perfect poultry choice for a beginner chicken keeper.
