Odd Coloration on Cornish Rock Cock

[popsicle]

Got any pictures of your white broilers? Any chance all the "Cornish Rocks" you were sold were hatchery White Rocks?

Maybe. But, my weights are probably incorrect, because he weighs much more than my Barred Rocks, which are about 8 lbs. He was also roughly about the size of a turkey (width-wise, not height-wise). He's also much larger than any broilers I've ever seen.

If you are talking about broilers you have seen in the coolers in the grocery store, they were butchered when they were 6-7 weeks old.

No, I mean the ones that I've seen at my County Fair, which I believe are slaughtered at 8 - 8.5 weeks or 14 weeks.

I don't believe I have any pictures put this one left, but I'll check. That's a possibility, them being White Rocks. They did lay a fair amount of eggs, but my neighbor, who's a big chicken farmer, said they were broilers. They also grew really fast, like most meat-birds should.
