The Plymouth Rock is one of Americas’ oldest breeds. It was the hen that was seen from coast to coast before the end of World War 2 and it became the nation’s main source of chicken meat and eggs.
As a dual purpose hen, it excelled in good quality meat production as well as good egg production, the only hen that could rival it was the Rhode Island Red.
I remember them from by grandmothers farm. Those and the RIReds back in the 50s in Ector Texas. They just seem to run wild all over the place except at night. Haven't seen one in decades around here.
