White rock chickens are the commercial hybrids used by the majority of broiler producers. The commercial hybrids are originally from White Plymouth Rock and Cornish breeds. Both foundation breeds are of English origins and have excellent meat and growth characteristics as well as white feathers and skin. Their eggs are brown. The white Plymouth Rock line is usually the female line and the male line is usually Cornish blood lines. White Rock chickens have become immensely popular due to their outstanding growth and economic advantages and comprise in excess of 90% of mainstream commercial chicken meat production.

Golden Comets, Red Stars and Cinnamon Queen are all red sex-linked birds. They are hybrids created by taking a Rhode Island Red or New Hampshire Red rooster and crossing him with a White Rock or Plymouth Barred Rock, White Leghorn or another light hen. These chickens are not a breed - they are hybrids bred for egg production and the fact that the female chicks will be red and the male chicks will be white. The Golden Comet has a White Rock mother, in most of the references I found, and the Red Star will have a Plymouth Barred Rock mother. So they are similar but different.
