He's about 5 months old. We got him from tractor supply and he was supposed to be a pullet... can't remember what the rest of the pullets were supposed to be(maybe copper maran). He used to be all gray/black but has gotten a lot of red within the last couple weeks. He's starting to get some blue/green tails feathers in also..

I do not know the breed, but he is gorgeous. 😍
 
I think he is a Blue Double Laced Barnevelder, like this one but hatchery quality.

Barnies have yellow legs and single combs.

I think the most likely possibility is blue laced red Wyandotte, with a single comb. Blue double laced Barnies are very uncommon, so I doubt that’s what he is. And while Tractor Supply loves to mix breeds up and sell the wrong ones, they’re generally all purebred. @rileenicole did you get any girls with him that are the same breed?

All the girls that were with him are full black.. I think they were all supposed to be copper marans maybe black sex link(can't remember now)but they don't have any copper/red
