White Rock Chickens enjoy fresh vegetable scraps
These White Rock chicks are notable for its striking white feathers and bright-red comb. It’s a larger chicken, especially with its fluffy winter feathers, and a docile breed. These chickens are social and prefer to live in flocks. They are often raised to be laying hens, however they are also raised for meat.
Hens aren’t particularly broody but will defend the clutch from threats. As a production bird, the White Rock chicken is an excellent egg-layer and a dual-purpose bird for meat and eggs but is equally suited to life as a farm pet. Because of its hardiness and resourcefulness, the chicken is a good choice as a first flock for beginner hobbyists.
The White Rock chicken is considered a standard-sized chicken, but it’s actually on the bigger side. Once matured, the chicken weighs about 8 pounds, which is enough to feed a family. The fluffy feathers make the chicken appear larger as well.
As a layer, the White Rock is a prized chicken. When properly cared for, the White Rock hen can produce over 200 eggs each year, putting it at the top of the egg-production spectrum. This breed does equally well on large-scale farms as hobby farms and isn’t sensitive to climate.
White Rock chickens have feathers that are thick and voluminous, helping them thrive in cold climates. Chicks have yellow combs that redden as they get older. The comb brightness correlates to the bird’s health – a vibrant red comb indicates a healthy bird. As they age, their combs begin to dull. Chickens can live three to seven years on average. They have the capability of recognizing up to 100 faces and even remember positive or negative experiences with the faces they recognize and pass that information on to members of their flocks.
