White Rock vs Rhode Island Whites

[Randy]

Just looking at them how would you tell them apart?

Different shape, compare a RIR with a Barred Rock and you will see the difference without the colour confusion.

Honestly? In hatchery stock, unless it has a rose comb (and not all do) it is doubtful that you will be able to tell them apart.

 

[Randy]

Which one should have the rose comb?

White Rocks have a Single Comb..
Rhode Island White only come rose comb..
If your bird has a rose comb it could also be a White Wyandotte...
Now if it has a single comb it could be a White Rock or a White Orpington and then you will have to look at the legs and see if the Yellow or Pinkish/White if there Yellow then they are White Rocks and if they are Pinkish White then they are White Orpingtons....
