You have a rooster, and he does look like a mutt.  Maybe, he has some Delaware in him?

I was also thinking delaware. i went with the barred more so because of the pattern going thru the majority of the body.

The man I got it from had both breeds of chickens free ranging so it may be. He also didn't know what he was. I was leaning towards roo but wanted to check with BYC members. Mind looking at 3 more chicks?

These look a lot like my Americaunas as babies, but the legs are yellow, not green. Maybe a bit of everything? Gonna be pretty, though!
