Barred Rock Eggs

The Barred Plymouth Rock, America’s original king of broilers is renowned for its flavor, history, and beauty. Barred Rocks reigned as king of the United States’ broiler industry for over 100 years. Their reliability, adaptability, health, and quality kept them immensely popular until the rise of the Cornish cross hybrid in the mid-1900s.

Our BPRs are our most storied and sought-after line. They were purchased from famed breeder Ralph Sturgeon in 1958 and have been meticulously maintained by Frank ever since.

Please note that while our birds can win shows sometimes, our breeding is more utility than show-focused. Getting show-quality stock cannot be guaranteed to those purchasing chicks or eggs.

Shipping: Hatching eggs are no more than 3-4 days old when shipped. Each egg is carefully candled and only those with small strong air sacks are sent. Eggs are packaged in high-quality custom foam packaging and then double-boxed for safe shipping. These precautions have led to a high level of satisfaction for our hatching eggs customers. We also like to advise buyers that faster shipping tends to improve the fertility rates of shipped eggs. Hatching egg orders are fulfilled on an ongoing basis, if shipping will take more than 1-2 weeks to complete we will let you know.
