Do you have Barred Plymouth Rocks? Here is our four-month update on their growth.

[@mattsara2802]

They are beautiful! One of our favorite breeds!

[@TheOldSwedesFarm]

I feel the same way. Beautiful girls. The only drawback is that this years group keep biting Rich's legs!

[@DawnRaeB]

Beautiful! And so awesome about the first egg. That's so cool. I can't wait for my first chicken egg.

[@fionnaitsradag5152]

I really like Plymouth Rocks. Mine are very friendly as well. One likes to perch on my arm whenever I'm in the chicken yard.

[@TheOldSwedesFarm]

The Rocks are the friendliest hens around. We love them. Glad yours are friendly too. Cheers!

They r really beautiful

[@TheOldSwedesFarm]

They are gorgeous. When the light catches them, that greenish tint shows beautiful. Thanks for watching!

[@ray1174]

[@TheOldSwedesFarm]

Thanks for subscribing and watching our videos! The Rocks really are beautiful!

[@user-zp7jp1vk2i]

I have a photo of dad with his barred Rocks.......from 1927. Old school lines; the birds are as big as him!! BR's have to be the friendliest birds of any breed.

[@TheOldSwedesFarm]

I feel this is the traditional American chicken. I've seen pictures from the Depression, of my Grandparents, and there is a Rock with them. I think this bird was on most farms to help them through the Depression. Thanks for stopping by to watch and comment!

[@Noniinthebush]

My BR rooster must have his cuddles every day and a sit beside. We do this every day for at least half an hour. His daughter wants to sit in my lap and she is just like a puppy. They are a gorgeous breed for sure.

[@vangiefich]

Thank you for the update! Mine are at 13 weeks, so it won't be too long.

[@TheOldSwedesFarm]

You aren't too far from the hens laying! Another 3-5 weeks! This breed is awesome! Such good layers and positive attitude! Our favorite breed right now! Thank you for watching and commenting! Keep us posted on your girls and let us know if we can help in any way!

[@OG-GenX065]

We had a rooster that would attack my mother when she collected eggs. Chicken with stuffing and gravy !!

[@TheOldSwedesFarm]

Sorry about your Mom being attacked. The chicken, stuffing and gravy is so funny! We don't have any roosters due to having kids around frequently. We just don't need them and we love our hens! Cheers Laurie!

[@OG-GenX065]

@@TheOldSwedesFarm thank you. We always had roosters to have chicks. Barred Rock, Cornish and a multi colored. I miss the farm so much.

[@TheOldSwedesFarm]

@@OG-GenX065 We may have a Barred Rock rooster this year. One is developing really fast! We will see if it starts to crow. Cheers Laurie!

[@waheedahmed7643]

@@TheOldSwedesFarmso your hens are laying eggs without rooster ?

[@TheOldSwedesFarm]

@@waheedahmed7643 The hens will lay eggs on their own. You only need a rooster if you want fertilized eggs. Egg laying is not dependent on the rooster being around.

[@rhondaredeemedprodigal]

Beautiful ❤️🥰. Nice 👍🙂

[@TheOldSwedesFarm]

They are beautiful girls! Thanks for watching and commenting Rhonda!

[@rhondaredeemedprodigal]

@@TheOldSwedesFarm you're very welcome 💕

[@robv4936]

My grandmother use to have a few of them, if I remember correctly, the egg was brown and delicious. She use to prefer baking with the brown eggs also.

[@TheOldSwedesFarm]

I think everyone's Grandma had the Plymouth Rocks. A staple on any farm! As you said, they are brown and so delicious! Thanks for watching!

[@jeaninesexton1532]

I had a Dominecker Rooster,,,looks familiar to to them 😊

[@TheOldSwedesFarm]

I think both are very old breeds from the east coast. Dominecker is older (I think). I love the black & white and the girls have an underlying blue/green sheen (when out in the sunlight). Beautiful birds!

[@BARBSCOUNTRYHOME999]

I don't have any Barred Plymouth Rock chicken but my cuckoo maran sure resembles one! 😉

[@TheOldSwedesFarm]

Your girls lay really dark eggs compared to our Rockers. Our girls also have yellowish legs. Other than that, they are pretty similar. You'd love some Plymouth Rocks. Great layers and good lap chickens. Cheers Barb!

[@Thomasfarmstn]

Grew up and have a row crop and cattle farm, no chickens. Learned something but why did the chicken cross the road?

[@TheOldSwedesFarm]

Why did the chicken cross the road. In our case: 1) to be naughty and go to the neighbors to eat their grass and garden, or 2) to be in the road so trucks can maybe run you over! Cheers!

[@DawnRaeB]

When you do the Buff Orpington 4 month update, and if any of them are roosters, could you point out the difference between roosters and hens please? I think I may can tell with my Welsummers. But my Buff Orpingtons just look fluffy. Hopefully that means they are all hens but I don't think I could be so lucky.

[@TheOldSwedesFarm]

We only buy hens so we've never had to deal with a rooster. Thanks for watching Dawn!

[@DawnRaeB]

@@TheOldSwedesFarm That is good thinking! I bought mostly straight run and now I can see how buying just hens would be helpful.

[@TheOldSwedesFarm]

@@DawnRaeB You can always buy more chicks and turn the older roosters into soup!!

[@DawnRaeB]

Oops. I just noticed the date on this video.

[@MiniatureChickenChannel]

@4:16 She's really giving you the "eye"......***Watch it hUmAn.... I like how you described them being higher up in the hierarchy of other chickens.....and the edited version of mating for yt viewers lol. 🐓🐓🐓 There's no Hen Emoji.....jeez in this day and age... **disappointed ha

[@TheOldSwedesFarm]

I get that look a LOT from our girls!! THANK YOU for watching and commenting! Cheers!
