    Leg Problem with my broad breasted white

    White Dominant/Recessive Question

    I purchased white rocks from McMurray. Are they white dominant or white recessive? I have two huge white rock roosters that I would like to cross with some New Hampshire hens. What would the offspring look like? Thanks in advance for anyone who can help.
