Plymouth Rocks
A Barred Plymouth Rock hen
Barred Plymouth Rocks, often sold as Barred Rocks, are one of the most popular of the dual purpose breeds for backyard flocks. White Rocks are crossed with White Cornish to produce the Rock/Cornish hybrid that makes up most of the roasting chickens found in supermarkets.
As far as I can tell, the Amrock is a utility form of the Barred Rock and is found mostly in Europe.
Bantam Plymouth Rocks are also quite popular.
