The White Rock Chicken: Egg Laying, Temperament, and Broodiness
The White Rock chicken is an all-star chicken that will get the job done on the farm, and serve up dinner too. This American breed originated in Massachusetts and was named after Plymouth Rock. While the White Rock is often referred to as a breed on its own, it is actually a variety of the Plymouth Rock, which can come in different color varieties, including white. You may even hear other chicken fanciers refer to the White Rock as the White Plymouth Rock. Think of it as being similar to the naming of the Orpington chicken…there’s Buff Orpingtons, Jubilee Orpington, Splash Orpington… etc.
