White rocks

White rock often carry dominant white and sex linked barring; these two genes can not be found in black sex linked cross. You would have to do a test cross to determine if the white rock male carries the two genes.

Cross the male with a black bird (any breed). If white chicks or barred chicks are in the offspring do not use him. I would hatch at least 10 birds.

Most of the ones Ive seen have rough dispositions; I have enough of that here as it is.

Sad as our RIRs have all be nice but I understand I would not have a mean Rooster either.

Aw that's a shame...my favorite rooster of all time was a RIR. He would jump on my lap when I sat down and just sat there for hours. Loved that bird.
