Poultry breeds photos: The Plymouth Rock

Plymouth Rocks are traditionally classified as a dual purpose or general purpose breed and is a bird of graceful curves with a large compact body, broad back and breast, medium upright single comb, yellow legs and rich bay eyes. Large and bantam versions are available, in various colours, but by far the most popular are the Buff and Barred bantams which are almost unique in their colour and markings. Large White Plymouth Rocks are currently used as the female line in 95% of the world's broiler breeding stocks. Quick maturing, the breed is also a very good layer of tinted eggs.
