I got this one with some other chickens, the hens just started laying that came with him. Well, I cam thinking he is a boy. Correct? But what breed? I was told New Hampshire Red, and he is defiantly not that.

2nd generation Red SL.  Someone thought they'd breed their own and didn't know they were one time hybrids.  They make handsome roos, don't they?

Okay thank you both. He has already mounted 1 or 2 hens. And my rooster does not like him, but he tolerates him. So he has to go. Already have someone interested. :)
