Plymouth Rock are a good general farm chicken. They are docile, while showing some broodiness. They possess a long, broad back and a moderately deep, full breast. They have a single comb of moderate size, yellow skin, and lay brown eggs. Some strains are good layers while others are bred principally for meat. They usually make good mothers. Their feathers are fairly loosely held but not so long as to easily tangle. Generally, Plymouth Rocks are not extremely aggressive, and tame quite easily. Standard weights for cocks is 9 ½  lbs and 7 ½   lbs for hens.

The Plymouth Rock was developed in America in the middle of the 19th century and was first exhibited as a breed in 1869. Several individuals claimed its invention, using crosses of Dominique, Java, Cochin, and Brahma. The first Plymouth Rock was barred and other varieties developed later. The Breed became popular very rapidly. Its popularity came from its qualities as an outstanding farm chicken: hardiness, docility, broodiness, and excellent production of both eggs and meat. Most of the other varieties were developed from crosses containing some of the same ancestral background as the barred variety. Early in its development, the name Plymouth Rock implied a barred bird, but as more varieties were developed, it became the designation for the breed.

The Wyandottes are beautiful chickens from the American class. Wyandottes are good dual/general purpose birds that weigh six to eight and half pounds (three to three and three quarter pounds for bantams). They are birds of curves with attractive color patterns. Hens lay between 150 and 220 large light brown to brown eggs a year. Wyandottes brood, infrequently or quite easily depending on the variety and individual hen, and their mothering skills are quite good. Wyandottes have low red Rose combs that follow the contour of the head. Sometimes, due to the many breeds that went into developing Wyandottes, single combs do show up. The wattles and oblong earlobes are red and medium in size. Their skin color is yellow. They are very hardy birds that do well in cold weather and their rose combs do not easily freeze. Wyandottes are friendly and generally have a good disposition but are sometimes aggressive. Wyandottes are great foragers and they bear confinement well. They are very attractive birds that would make good pets.

The original Silver Laced Wyandotte was developed in New York using silver Sebrights and white Cochins. The Golden laced Wyandotte was developed in Wisconsin using silver-laced Wyandotte females and crossbred Partridge Cochin-Brown Leghorn males. White and Black varieties came from off shoots of the silver Wyandottes. Partridge Wyandotte were created using Cochins (and sometimes Cochin/Cornish crosses) with golden Wyandottes. Columbian Wyandotte were crossings of White Wyandottes and Barred Rocks. Wyandottes were first recognized in the Standard of Perfection in 1883 but the breed was not strictly characterized until 1925.

  Greenwald and Banaji are not suggesting that people stop helping their friends, relatives and neighbors. Rather, they suggest that we direct some effort to people we may not naturally think to help.
