Looks like a white Plymouth Rock to me.

He is for sure a CX, I don't know if you can see it from the pic but he is really blocky.

A quick Google search shows they are a larger, thick bird as far as standard sized birds go. What makes you sure it's a Cornish cross?

My white rock looked like the first one.

Some do, but my point is most have a gray tint.

Most Cornish crosses are Cornish x White Rocks. My guess is he just took on more of the white rock traits.

Perhaps. His legs are so thick.

That's exactly what I was going to say, it could be a throwback to the Plymouth part of the genetics. Hopefully he skips the heart and leg issues as part of the deal.
