Colombian rock breeds

[rural mouse]

What are Colombian Wyandotte’s? How do they look different from a Columbian rock?

Body shape and comb shape

the one in front is a silver laced wyandotte. The one in back is SUPPOSED to be a light Brahma but has so much "mud" in her feathers across her back that I suspect she's actually a light Brahma x dark brahma. Note the short back and deep curve neck to tail on the silver laced: classic wyandotte, known for their curves.

the one in front here is a partridge Plymouth Rock

A Columbian wyandotte is going to be shaped like the silver laced while a Columbian Rock will be shaped like the partridge. Combs should match the breed shape too.

Ohhh I’m pretty sure my hens have yellow feet and white skin so I’m confused now

White feet frequently look pink

Those aren't great example photos of show birds though.

I think most hatchery birds are just the same shape of bird with different comb types and different feather colors. But for the curious, I do have pictures of show Plymouth Rocks and show Wyandottes.
As you can see, all the columbian ones I could find are bantams because large fowl columbians are rare but you can see that Wyandottes are round and Rocks are long with a low tail

She looks super floofy. Here are more pictures of them. Buttercup looks longer with her tail down and chestnut has a rounder body shape. Do they look like full Colombian rocks?

Comb size ... very possible. I've never had Columbian Rocks. With your statement about the yellow feet, very plausible.

I keep forgetting to take a pic of my CR X during the day (it’s been pouring the last few days), so I attempted to get a good pic of her in the dark on the roost tonight. Not the most flattering pic for sure, but at least you can see her neck coloring. She always roosts on the lower roost w her “sisters” from our newest additions last summer.

I believe that one is actually a Delaware, not a Plymouth Rock.

She’s supposed to be a Columbian Rock Cross from Mt Healthy (hence the poor coloring). A Columbian mixed w a Rhode Island Red. They don’t carry Delawares, so if that doesn’t sound right I’m stumped! My neighbor has a few and they are EXTREMELY gentle and quiet. We love our Coconut, no matter what she is!
