Barred Rock Chicken

We spent the morning at a working farm with a petting zoo / playground / pick your own strawberries operation.

Hilarious good fun for all.

The goats were soft and nice to pet and the chickens curious enough to come close for a good look at us.

We picked a bucket of delicious strawberries to bring home and ate a bucket of them while doing so.

The Plymouth Rock, often called simply Rocks or Barred Rocks (after their most popular color), is a chicken breed that originated in the United States. The Plymouth Rock is a dual-purpose, cold-hardy bird and therefore makes a great breed for the small farm or backyard flock owner. The Barred Rock is often called the Plymouth Rock, but this title correctly belongs to the entire breed, not just the Barred variety.
