White partridge rock pullet?

[boonedau]

she look like a white rock, these are mine (The store said white rock, but I think they are white plymouth rock, not sure if those are the same xD)

The breed is Plymouth Rock. It is usually shortened to just Rock. White Rocks, Barred Rocks, and Partridge Rocks are all the same breed (Plymouth Rock), but different varieties/colors.

Her feet are huge and she's very clumsy. Suppose to be a white partridge rock but I have accidently gotten "meat chickens " before and was curious as to maybe she isn't a partridge but one of those.. What does everyone think? I've never had white partridge rocks before.

If it starts growing too fast for its feathers to keep up, I'd go for Cornish cross. Watch the legs, if it is. Good luck!

I am now almost 100% positive that's a Cornish. Pink butt. Wont leave feeder. If he's the only chick there, may want to restrict his feed time as could over eat. Gluttonous little things.

It's amazing to me how often those guys get mislabeled. A friend of mine ended up with a meatie that was supposed to be a white rock too. Only hers was a girl, and shockingly is still alive a year later. She lays well, but has to have extremely restricted food to prevent her from eating herself, literally, to death. She also struggles with sunburn because she has bald patches.
Since I'm pretty sure yours is a boy though, you might want to make arrangements since he will grow bigger than a female, and the chances of him surviving past about 12 weeks is slim. They commonly have leg problems and lose mobility, or just have a heart attack because of their size.

When I had a couple, they were undead labeled as white rocks. Made for a tasty dinner, though. Both ended up being roos and were plucked and sauced around 11-12 weeks. We made in into an excuse to BBQ and have some friends over.

The picture you posted shows that he is a rooster. Why? Because of the bright red combs and wattles at such a young age. Hope this answers your question!
