I'm sure it's not an oprington.

Kind of remind me of an American Game Fowl

It's mixed breed... not even half orpington so it was not an orp egg in the first place.

#1 reason it can't even be half orp is due to yellow legs. An impossibility from breeding of white leg breed to yellow leg. But also important is it's way too light and long legged also the comb looks to be walnut which is genetically rose and pea. Orpingtons have single and cannot produce any chicks with this comb type unless bred with a walnut combed bird.

It seems to be cross or mix out of breeds with lacing(laced wyandotte? it would give yellow skin and rose comb), or pencilled or spangled. Mixes with any of those color patterns will throw birds with patterns similar to his.

I could believe a second generation/onwards sebright(has lacing, rose and small size- he seems small sized too) mixed with something pea combed. sebright and game?
