Also known as "Barred Rock" is a New England breed from the 1800's.  A great dual purpose breed that is an excellent brown egg layer and a hardy meat bird.  It is well adaptable to cold weather.  This bird prefers to free range but can be confined.  Plymouth rocks have a happy personality.  They come in many colors,but it is rare to find them in any color other than the black and white colors. They have a single rose comb making them different from the Dominique breed that looks just like them (they have a rose comb instead).
