Breed Information:
Barred Plymouth Rock Chickens are an old-time favorite brown egg layer as well as a popular dual-purpose breed. The Plymouth Rock breed is very friendly and does well in cold weather. Plymouth Rock Chickens are a high producer of brown eggs, have a meaty body, a docile personality, and good hardiness in all climates, making them much desired in all flocks.
These lovely birds have black and white barred feathers, with the roosters slightly lighter in color than the hens. By the 1940s, the Barred Plymouth Rock was hands-down the single most popular breed with small American farms. The breed is hardy, docile, feathers out quickly and heavily lays an average of 200 brown eggs a year, and can provide meat for a family.
Nowadays, you will often find two different types of Barred Plymouth Rocks. More commonly found is the “production” type of bird, which is focused on higher egg production. It is typically lighter in weight and stature than the heritage Barred Rock. The production-bred Barred Rock hens average about 6 pounds and roosters 7 pounds.
The Heritage Barred Rock more closely resembles the Barred Rock of yesteryear and is an excellent choice for exhibition or table birds. The heritage Barred Rock roosters weigh in at around 9-10 pounds and hens at 7-8 pounds. They tend to take 6 to 8 months to fully mature, so keep that in mind if your goal is for exhibition.
Looking for a versatile, friendly breed that's perfect for small farms? Barred Plymouth Rock Chickens fit the bill. With their high egg production, docile personality, and good hardiness, they make a great addition to any flock. It's an all-around win!
Our commitment ensures that your hen is correctly sexed, with a money-back guarantee if that hen is not. This breed will be 8-10 weeks old when you bring it home, unless the available options state differently. At this age, they're already fully feathered and accustomed to being outside, embracing the adventure of being outside while they eagerly await their new coop. The selected date indicates the week the hens will be ready to come home to their new coop.

Wonderful birds!
AZ Chickens has been phenomenal to work with in attaining my Black Bresse flock. Colewyn went ABOVE and BEYOND with his patience. I had endless questions and he always cared and took the time to help me navigate my situations and just over all, the process. My birds arrived way quicker than I imagined and are so healthy and active. I couldn’t be more pleased. Thanks Colewyn, Karen and AZ Chickens!

10 stars!!!
Thank you so much AZ Chickens. Colwyn was super helpful, responsive via text message. Our interaction started with basic questions about the kind of hens they had and to be honest, at the time I was not sure who I would buy from. Colwyn from AZ Chickens was genuine and made me feel like he cared, and I was not just a number or sale. He was willing to help with any concerns and made some helpful recommendations after we had the chickens. The flock was very well cared for and our kids have love having them. Our daughter can say that she received her first egg on Resurrection Sunday! Praise Jesus! What a story.
We would definitely highly recommend Arizona Chickens!! They are good people!
