The color of the hen's feathers has little to do with the egg shell color. A black hen can lay a white egg or a brown egg...you might even find one that lays blue eggs.
Actually, its the skin around the sides of the face (known as "earlobes") that correlates
with egg color. The egg color and the earlobe color do not match,
rather it is possible to predict the color of a hen's eggs by looking at
her earlobes. In general, the darker the earlobes, the darker the eggs.
Hens with white earlobes usually produce white eggs. Hens with red,
brown, or black earlobes usually lay brown eggs.
There are many exceptions to this rule, though. For example, chickens of the Silkie
breed often have blue or black earlobes and they generally lay white
eggs.
Barred Rock a variety of Plymouth Rock is considered to be a "good" egg producer. They lay light to medium brown eggs and are good cold climate chickens. You can expect upwards of 170 eggs per year over three years from a barred rock hen with some doing much better than that.
Green and Pink:)
Bluebell Chickens lay a pale brown egg
is it blue
it is blue
Barred Rock chickens are purebred. The word 'barred' is just a term for color. Barred means like white with gray stripes, for example. 'Rock' is the breed.
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.

Golden Comets, Red Stars and Cinnamon Queen are all red sex-linked birds. They are hybrids created by taking a Rhode Island Red or New Hampshire Red rooster and crossing him with a White Rock or Plymouth Barred Rock, White Leghorn or another light hen. These chickens are not a breed - they are hybrids bred for egg production and the fact that the female chicks will be red and the male chicks will be white. The Golden Comet has a White Rock mother, in most of the references I found, and the Red Star will have a Plymouth Barred Rock mother. So they are similar but different.

Chickens do not lay eggs according to the colour of their feathers, but here are some breeds that lay cream eggs: -Buff Orpington -Barred Rock -Americauna (these also lay green eggs sometimes)
It is usually a Barred Rock but it is best to have a rooster. (a rooster is a male chicken)

Free range eggs are not any particular color. It depends on the type of chicken that layed the egg. Our Gold Star Chickens lay beautiful brown eggs, while our White Rock Chickens lay brownish eggs. The White Rocks have a pale color when compared to the Gold Stars. For more information email us at: wilsonfamilyfarm.stuart@gmail.com
No, they are hybrids and therefore do not lay eggs at all.
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.

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.
earlobe color determines the color of eggs if they are red then the eggs will be brown
They can lay anywhere from medium to large to extra large, although it tends to be large.
