(Some pullets may be cage-raised). Not available at most agents. Birds must be picked up at Westlock as we are not able to ship grown birds. Crates are available with a deposit of $70.00 per crate.

The Barred Plymouth
Rock is one of the oldest and most popular pure breeds. They are reasonable
producers of medium size creamy brown eggs. The rooster, while they make very
good eating can be aggressive so a low ratio of rooster to hen is necessary
for good fertility if you are planning to breed. You don't want your hens
'hiding' in their nests! They are tasty, fat free birds, easy to raise and
hardy winter birds. The
chicks are all black with a white spot on their heads. Available as unsexed only.

THE COLUMBIAN ROCK: These remain our heaviest of dual purpose birds. They are
average layers of medium sized beige eggs. However, they remain a good choice
for an all around bird with their sweet happy go lucky personality. Very good
meat birds, lean and tasty and easy to keep a few over for your winter supply
of eggs. The chicks are all yellow. Available as unsexed only. The Columbian Rock is only
available once in July, 2008 |

WHITE An excellent dual-purpose bird. Like their
cousins the Barred Plymouth Rock, they lay a good size egg and their flesh is pink and tasty. The chicks are all yellow and sold unsexed
only. The Columbian Rock is only
available once in July, 2008 |
Dual Purpose Birds have a traditional meat flavor and texture. Butcher at 18-22 weeks for best
weight/texture. |
