I am very curious about what breed my rooster is? I have looked all over and can't find one to match...

He is the green one in the middle... He is about year old, and is very sweet. He only crows in the morning, and only enough times to make sure every one is awake.

Your rooster appears to be a mixed breed. He is very pretty and such a special boy needs his very own special name. He has that nice beetle green sheen to his feathers.......hmmm..........OK, I got it! He is a Frosted Emerald Malabo!!
