Red Rock Cross

Red Rocks are a cross between a Rhode Island Red Rooster and Barred Plymouth Rock hen popular because they retain the productivity of the parent breeds and because they can be sight sexed at hatching.

Female chicks have an all black head, whereas the males have a white patch on head. Roosters mature with barring of Barred Rocks; females are usually black with red breast feathers.

Red Rocks are available (starting November 2009 as chicks and point of lay in March 2010) Contact for information.

Mellow Meadow is operated as a hobby farm by Gavin Guppy and not as a commercial operation. Sales of livestock helps to support the farm. As such, availability and quantity of breeds is limited. Every effort is made to insure birds are disease free. I have a policy of not importing any adult stock and all imported baby birds come vaccinated from a reliable hatchery. Birds hatched on site will be started on a medicated feed and if purchased from me as chicks should be fed on medicated feed for the recommended time. Ducklings should not be given medicated feed.
