Partridge Rocks (aka Plymouth Partridge Rocks) are an American creation developed by mixing Partridge Cochin, Dark Cornish, and Golden Wyandotte breeds. Other reports suggest that Brown Leghorns and Golden Penciled Hamburgs were also used to create this beautiful variety of Plymouth Rock. The Partridge Plymouth Rock combines all of the excellent utility traits and hardiness of other Plymouth Rocks with the intricate pattern known as Partridge. The males feature dark red hackle and saddle feathers with a black tail and breast feathers. While the female's feathers are a rich mahogany brown delicately marked with two to three concentric black bands known as penciling. This feather pattern is even more stunning upon close examination. Like other Plymouth Rocks, they have a gentle temperament and are not only good egg layers, but also grow to a large size, making them excellent dual-purpose chickens. Hens begin to lay around 4-5 months of age and are good layers of approximately 200 eggs per year. If you're looking for a beautiful heritage breed to add to your flock, you've found it in the Partridge Rock.
