    What can you tell me about these chicken breeds?

    Since you have EE's and RIR hens, I would go with a good "meaty" rooster to add "substance" to your flock. The white rock would be great for that. Rocks are all around good chickens,... :thumbsup

    The Partridge Rocks are very nice. They have the prettiest colors. We started out with about 15 or so, I am now down to 2. :( Decided I wanted different breeds, should have kept the rocks. :rolleyes: It is a learning lesson though. :)
