I ordered a rare breed special from mcmurray hatchery and he started out all black with white around eyes and chest and now like this. I have no clue what he is. Thanks for any help.
 
Welcome to BYC. Glad you decided to join our flock. The only rare breed that I'm aware of that MM sells that even remotely resembles your rooster are Blue Laced Red Wyandottes and if that's what he is it's a terrible hatchery quality BLRW with a single comb and legs that are not yellow. Single combs do sometimes pop up in hatchery quality Wyandottes so I'm thinking that is likely the case here.

He's a stumper

. If it were another hatchery, I'd say he's a black copper Marans, but MMM doesn't carry them. He really doesn't fit any of the breeds they have. Honestly, he looks like a mixed breed bird. I'd send them a pic and ask for their input.

My only other thought is a very poorly colored partridge Rock? But he sure looks like he has pink/white skin.....
