Chirping
I hatched ebay eggs about 9-10 weeks ago. I recently sold most of them, I kept two. I believed both of these to be pullets. I was wrong. I have one of each. The one in question is the cockerel, though both are unknown breed mixes. The person I purchased the eggs from mentioned having Deathlayers from Greenfire Farms, Ayam Cemani (that supposedly don't mix with the others), some bantam Cochins, Silkies, a few types of Marans, a Marans Leghorn mix and a few other breeds I can't think of at the moment.
The cockerel has been crowing each morning before I open the brooder door to let them into the run. I believed the crowing was from our Polish cockerel but nope, it's this one I believe to be a Deathlayer mix. These are photos/screenshots taken from video.
He has a cushion or rose comb (I'm new to learning about types of combs), four toes, lightly feathered feet/legs, and black legs and feet. His black/darker feathers are iridescent and shimmer purple and green in different angles of lighting.
I believe this was the same chicken when they were 2-3 weeks old(?):
