Cornish cross question

[Lgbchickie]

Does it matter the coloration of the Plymouth rock chicken? I only ever see white Plymouth used is it a genetic requirement? Or could I use a different color without problems, like a partridge rock or blue rock? (Rock being the roo & Cornish being the hen)

White is used because when plucked they look cleaner.

The store birds have those breeds in the background, but have been out of refined stock for 50 years. They have 4 different grandparents stocks to make the parents of what we buy in the store.
