Plymouth Barred Rocks are generally known for their calm and friendly temperament. They are not typically aggressive and are often considered one of the more docile chicken breeds, making them suitable for families and backyard flocks. However, individual personalities can vary, and factors such as socialization and environment can influence behavior.
Plymouth Rock is the name of the location where the pilgrims first settled in America and is also the name of a chicken species. So the answer is Plymouth Rock chickens or "Barred Rocks," as they are also known as are indeed alive.

Barred rocks or Barred Plymouth Rock hens are somewhat early maturing birds and should start producing eggs about 20 to 24 weeks old. The first eggs will be somewhat small until they get going into what is often a good to excellent layer. The eggs of a standard Barred rock will be large size and range from pinkish to medium brown.
A barred Plymouth rock typically lives five to six years. However, some from older stock can live 10-12 years. Egg production decreases as they age.
Yes. My barred plymoth rocks and dominque surprisingly eat it.
They can lay anywhere from medium to large to extra large, although it tends to be large.
In my experience withroosters (we have had around thirty in the past four years) a breed called "silkie" chickens, the roosters of that breed are sometimes even nicer than the hens! I have been raising chickens for thirty years, and silkies for eight, the roosters we've had were always kind and gentle.
Most breeds can be mingled within a flock. It takes a few days for new chickens to settle in but RIR and Barred Rocks who are quite docile will get along fine.
12 ft. Long and 20 ft. Long
Throughout the years many pieces have broken off and since been removed. The first break was when it was loaded on a carriage. I believe that is why it has always been called Plymouth Rock and not Plymouth Rocks.
Up a creek without a paddle
They were barred from combat.
