With roots tracing back to the 1800's, our line of Barred Plymouth Rocks is the epitome of a heritage breed. Once the most popular chicken on American farms, traditional Barred Rocks have largely been replaced by their hatchery relatives who no longer sport the large size, precise barring and calm temperaments of our birds. Our emphasis is on safeguarding the lineage of this old American breed while also concentrating on increasing egg production while keeping the exceptional meat qualities.
