For today's Zooly "Chickens" prompt, I chose to draw a barred Plymouth rock because, well, they're FUN to draw! Can you find all the chicks?
The Plymouth rock is one of my favorite breeds that I have in my flock. They're great egg-layers, laying around 200 brown eggs a year, but as a dual-purpose bred I also raise a few each year for meat. 100 years ago this was the most popular breed of chicken in the United States. While the exact origin of this breed is a bit contentious, genetic analysis shows the main ancestor of the Plymouth rock is the similarly barred Dominique.

Many of us fast from sundown the day before through the afternoon of that day. We are mourning our ancestors and the genocide of our peoples and the theft of our lands. NDOM is a day when we mourn, but we also feel our strength in action. Over the years, participants in Day of Mourning have buried Plymouth Rock a number of times, boarded the Mayflower replica, and placed ku klux klan sheets on the statue of William Bradford, etc.

facts: waters have risen approximately 1.5 feet in Plymouth Harbor since 1620. Plymouth Rock is not an accurate gauge of area sea-level rise since 1620 because it was only placed in its current position (on a concrete base!) in 1920. it has been excavated and moved from its original (now underwater) position
even more damning, the raised rock now becomes completely submerged under seawater again during some high tides
