Could I have a Cornish Rock?

[erin09]

Out of my 6 assorted pullets one was all yellow(named Lemon) and is now all white.

I have been reading about Cornish Rocks and how they don't live long, this worries me very much. Lil Lemmy is the sweetest of our bunch and my personal favorite.

She is actually bit smaller than the other 5, (red/golden sex links), they were all the same size when we got them.

Do Cornish Rocks have any tell-tale traits? Whats the difference between the CRs and a leghorn?

I can get a pic if that would be helpful.

Yes pics would be helpful. If it is smaller than the others, I would bet it isn't a cornish rock.

If she started out the same size as the others and is now smaller, than she's not a cornish X. Cornish crosses grow fast and this chick would now be bigger than the others if it was a meat chicken.

She could be a white leghorn - they're slightly smaller, but usually more skittish.

A pic would definately be helpful. I got my first batch of CornishX's when I got my golden comet chicks and there was already a size difference (the cornishx were much bigger). I agree though my CornishX are very sweet, much like puppy dogs.

This picture is of my much larger CornishX roo in front of two of my Golden Comet Roo's:

My puter is acting up, so I can't get a pic right now.

Hopefully later, after DH has a go at it.
