    Thought I was getting pure White Rocks....but???

    wow! so should I keep my other roos spurs trimmed? They are free ranged and soon to be in a huge enclosed pen. These particular chickens are going to be gone soon so I am not even going to try and do his spur. He is VERY flighty too. When I give them water they fly and jump around bouncing off...

    Yeah thats a HUGE spur! I've never had roos in the past, never wanted them so I just kept the hens. Now that I keep a few roos for breeding, my oldest roos are only 7 months old and the spurs are just nubs. I've just never seen anything like it before and didn't realize they got soooo big...

    Yes, the rooster and all of the hens have straight comb. Also they seem to have yellow legs, but theres pink in it too??? Maybe because of the mites, it turned pinkish white? I believe its yellow under all of that 'stuff' but I could be wrong. Its hard to tell.

    Quote: They are a mix (not pure). A White Langshan would have Slate Blue legs and your rooster has Whitish Pink legs and your hen looks to have Yellow legs.. I think that they are a Rock/ Langshan cross.. Chris Thanks! I don't know how all that genetic stuff works. I leave it to the pros at...

    I just looked up the Langshan chicken and it does look very similiar to these. Maybe they don't have Rock in them at all? or a mix, who knows. Langshan also has feathered feet from some of the pics I saw.

    Quote: Thanks for the info! I also think they are prettier than pure White Rocks, but I am trying a new project and I need pure White Rocks for it. I don't know what would happen if I used these guys? I swear the roo looks like he weighs 20 pounds and one of his girls is a little bigger than...

    Thought I was getting pure White Rocks....but???

    I just picked up 5 White Rock Chickens (1 Roo, 4 Hens) they are about 1-1 1/2 yrs old I was told. Only paid $20 for them which I though was a great deal for pure white rocks. Well I got them home, untaped the boxes and put them in their temporary coop. 1 hen forced herself out of the box before...
