Columbian Rock Standard Chicks

Purely Poultry is delighted to introduce the Columbian Rock Standard Chicks, a wonderful addition to any backyard flock. These chickens are part of the renowned Plymouth Rock family, known for their gentle nature and excellent egg production. Whether you’re a seasoned poultry keeper or just starting out, Columbian Rocks are sure to impress with their reliable temperament and practicality.

The Columbian Rock’s roots go back to the Plymouth Rock lineage, with this specific variety being officially recognized in 1910. What makes these birds stand out is their distinctive black and white plumage, giving them a striking appearance in any coop. But beyond their good looks, they are prolific egg layers, producing between 200-250 large brown eggs each year. Their moderate size—roosters weighing around 9.5 pounds and hens about 7.5 pounds—makes them a versatile breed for both egg production and their gentle companionship.

One of the standout features of Columbian Rocks is their calm, friendly demeanor. They are known to be excellent mothers, with strong broody instincts, making them a great choice for those interested in raising chicks naturally. Their nurturing temperament also makes them a favorite for families, particularly for those with children, as these birds are easy to handle and integrate well into a peaceful flock environment.

These hardy birds are well-suited to a variety of climates, thriving in both warm and cold environments, thanks to their robust nature. Whether you’re looking for a steady egg producer or a beautiful, friendly companion for your backyard, Columbian Rock Standard Chicks are a reliable choice. And for those with limited space, we also offer a bantam version of this breed, which retains all the charm and productivity in a smaller, more compact size.
