Rustic Rock

[Wisconsinted]

Hello, this is my 7 to 8 week old rustic rock bought from fleet farm which gets chicks from hoovers. It looks like a barred rock with much more white in front neck and head. We got it as I let each kid pick out one when one of ours died early summer. I'm pretty certain it's a pullet based on shape and head but I can't find much info on this breed itself, even from hoovers website. It's obviously a barred rock crossed with something but not sure what?

She's a pullet. I really don't know much about Rustic Rocks but she could be one. Don't think I've ever actually seen them listed on Hoover's site before or seen any other places that sell them. But members do post pictures of them every so often, so I guess they exist and people get them from somewhere. Hoover's does a lot of hybrid breeds so no telling what all she could be bred with. I do know that I've seen similar patterned birds come from them before that were supposedly labeled as Barred Rocks or "Rainbows".

From what I've heard hoovers only sells them to stores and not through website. She's a pretty well natured bird and having chickens a few years am really interested in the cross. Mine looks like the sign at fleet farm with the whiter neck and head. I'm imagining a barred rooster over something? Not sure.
