3 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 confinement, they're most happy when they get to range freely
3 Buff Orphingyons-ll Orpingtons are said to be docile and friendly, but this is especially true of the buff. They are very calm and stately – they sort of glide across the barnyard – unless they are running for treats, in which case they hike up their ‘skirts’ and run like crazy! They love to be cuddled and will often seek you out to let you know they need attention. Their fabulous feathering makes them very cold hardy, although if their feathers get sodden they can chill and die quickly. They tolerate warmer climates but need to have access to shade during the heat of the day. They make great broodies and good mothers, they will usually accept hatching eggs being placed under them. The buff roosters are said to be fiercely protective of their offspring and will even take a spell on the nest to give mom a break! They are a top choice for many families because the buff is superb with children, tolerating all sorts of things that kids do.
Includes feeder and water tools, you will need heat lamp and box.
