Any Ideas on what breed of rooster this might be?

post #1 of 8
Thread Starter 

I have looked at hundreds of pictures and spoken with the hatchery they were purchased from. I have two of them the only difference being that one has green tail feathers while the other has grey. large pea combs, black feet but pink skin, small white ear tufts. Patches of deep rust on shoulders and wings, very nice. They came in a package of heritage birds, supposed to be four breeds. They were to be Ameracauna, Danish brown leghorn (maybe red can't remember), Buff Brahmas and Buff Orpingtons. I'm pretty sure he is none of those. Here is some pictures, not great ones, but they should do. The Hatchery swears he is a Brahma but I've attached a picture of my Dark Brahma, nothing alike and these two do not have a single feather on their feet.

This is Stumpy, he was going to be destroyed due to very frozen feet( he was in a block of ice) silly bird, any way we rescued him and he is recovering nicely with no feet. a little wobbly still but healthy.

The first one is a mix with Ameraucana, and the last one looks a lot like a Brahma, Shamo look to me. 

 

It's the shape that makes the breed, and the color that makes the variety.

they are both ee's, hatcheries don't sell true ameraucanas.

silkies and (projects), sumatras, lakenvelders, frizzles, polish and (projects), sultans, buff orps, black sexlinks, turkeys, red golden pheasents, Peepers, dogs, cats, fish, horses, wild kids, and one very understanding DH, come on over for a visit to the crazy farm

Both are Easter Eggers. Like ramirez said, hatcheries don't sell true Ameraucanas or Araucanas. Also, there can be beardless EEs, which is what the second guy is.

Easter egger roosters. They were sold to you as ameraucanas. The fact that they don't meet the breed standard, thus you can't match them to any pictures, indicates they're not really ameraucanas. Plus the fact they came from a hatchery.

Well, the kittens aren't so cute anymore and the easter egger cockerels are in the freezer. Plus, I think offering them as "prizes" scared folks off! So, I'm still posting quotes, if you know it let me know. I'm very enamored of this new one, it may hang around for a while!

That sucks. Does any one know where I could get them up here? I'm in The Yukon very near the Alaskan border.
