White Rock Roo--- Need Pictures

[rodriguezpoultry]

Leghorns have yellow legs also...he has the white in his face, which is typical of Leghorn males...especially those with large white earlobes. He could be a mix. In all honesty....the hatchery has "random" pens where breeder birds are put until they are needed. Sometimes...they gather these eggs...for some RANDOM reason? And then sometimes...a male gets in with another pen of females and well..you know the rest.

That is a white rock. My rocks look just like that, maybe a bit more tail. My big ol' Leghorn roo is completely different and his comb is MUCH bigger.

Your roo looks a bit small though for this age. WPR get enormous.

I've heard that the yellow in the feathers is the difference between the dominant white gene and the recessive white gene.

Really? hmm... I wondered how that works... I think his tail fathers may just be coming in. They are 18 weeks +/- and I haven't seen him doing his dancing yet, so I would say he is not fully mature just yet. Maybe... I think his face will probably get redder as he ages?
I am seperating pens for the spring and I need to know if he's a keeper or not!
