Plymouth Rock

Barred Plymouth Rocks or "Barred Rocks", as they''re called, are one of the most popular dual-purpose chickens on small farms today. Their heritage is unclear with reports of different crosses, but what is clear is that they're very friendly, great layers of large brown eggs and able to withstand cold weather quite nicely. Though they tolerate confinment, they're most happy when they get to range freely. All varieties of Plymouth Rock aside from the Barred and white varieties are relatively rare.
