Standard Breed
The Blue Rock, often called the Plymouth Blue Rock, is a beautiful and hardy hybrid chicken known for its stunning slate-blue feathers and dependable production. This variety was developed by crossing a Barred Plymouth Rock with a Blue Andalusian breed to produce its signature soft blue coloration while keeping the classic body shape and friendly nature of the original Plymouth Rock.
Blue Rocks are calm, curious, and gentle, making them ideal for families, homesteads, and backyard flocks. They adapt well to backyard or homestead settings and are known for being excellent foragers. Their docile personality also makes them easy to handle and compatible with other breeds in mixed flocks.
When it comes to production, Blue Rocks are impressive layers, producing 200–280 large brown eggs per year. They normally start laying around 22–26 weeks of age and are known for steady output even through cooler months. Their combination of consistent laying, good size, and cold hardiness makes them a great dual-purpose bird, suitable for both eggs and meat.
Rising in popularity across small farms and backyard coops, the Blue Rock stands out for its striking plumage, gentle temperament, and reliability. With the perfect mix of beauty and productivity, they’ve quickly become a favorite among keepers who want a bird that looks as good as it performs.
