White Plymouth Rock Chicks

Meet the White Plymouth Rock, a true American classic that brings both beauty and practicality to your backyard. Originally recognized by the American Poultry Association in 1888, this stunning breed, often referred to simply as the White Rock, has been a staple in poultry flocks for generations. Its clean, white feathers and reliable productivity make it an excellent choice for poultry keepers looking for a bird that balances charm and utility.

The White Plymouth Rock is renowned for its versatility as a dual-purpose breed. Not only are these birds wonderful egg layers—producing between 200 and 280 large brown eggs annually—but they also offer an excellent source of meat, making them a popular choice for those who want the best of both worlds. Hens are known to be attentive brooders and caring mothers, so if you’re interested in raising your own chicks, White Plymouth Rocks will handle the job with ease.

Their friendly, easy-going temperament is another reason why they’re so beloved. Despite their solid size, with roosters weighing around 9.5 pounds and hens about 7.5 pounds, they are gentle and calm, making them ideal for families, even those with young children. Their adaptability allows them to thrive in various settings, whether confined to a coop or allowed to free-range, and they do well in different climates, from hot summers to cold winters.

As chicks, White Plymouth Rocks may surprise you with their soft down, which can range from white to smoky shades. But as they grow, they develop their signature pure white plumage. One interesting feature to keep an eye on is their leg color. While mature birds will have bright yellow legs, younger birds sometimes show darker shades until they reach full maturity.
