📖 The Plymouth Chicken or the Barred Rock Chicken is one of the most popular chicken breeds that have a dual utility. This breed is perfect for anyone who is just looking for a pet chicken and even for someone who is looking at converting his hobby of rearing chickens into a lucrative business. These chickens are able to lay about 3 to 5 eggs each day. That makes them ideal for a roaring egg business.
On the other hand, their calm and docile nature makes them perfect to keep as pets. They are easy around children and other pets as well. This is why this breed was one of the most common backyard birds during the Second World War. The unique barred plumage is also very interesting. Most breeders seek to retain this coloration to its perfection to create beautiful show birds as well.
