Excerpt from The Plymouth Rocks: Barred, White, and Buff; Their Practical Qualities, the Standard Requirements, How to Judge Them, How to Breed and Mate for the Best Results
Mr. D. A. Upham, of Wilsonville, Conn., rightly claims the honor of having first shown the Plymouth Rock as a variety of fancy poultry. This was at Worcester, Mass., in 1869. At first they were called improved Plymouth Rocks, after, and in distinction from Dr. Bennett's breed of that name.
