GAME BIRD OR NOT? WHAT BREED?

Its definitely a red saddled yokphoma, just a poor quality one. He shouldn't have red on his head and neck but he still has flecks

I don't think that it is a Yokohama, as the legs are white. Yokohamas have yellow legs (or at least they should).

I did some research and here is a picture of a "miner blue" I found on the Internet

I agree that it's red saddle is not a dark as that of a show quality Red Saddled Yokohama, but the comb does not look like a straight single comb to me in the pics. I'm thinking that this bird is either a poor hatchery quality Red Saddled Yokohama or a Red Saddled Yokohama mixed breed.

It's dubbed, that's why it doesn't have a comb in the picture

Whatever he is, he is beautiful! He looks like the poultry equivalent of a fancy Koi fish.

Thank you!

White legs is the dominant gene over yellow legs so a poor quality Yokohama is very likely to have white legs

The OP's bird is not a Yokohama of any type.
He, the OP has a American Gamefowl type bird.

As for White leg color being dominant over Yellow that part is true only if both parents are pure for leg color.

Quote:
I may be a Miner Blue but any "Black Breasted Red", "Blue Breasted Red", or "Brown Red" type fowl bred to a dominate White fowl could produce that color.

When I looked at the photo I wasn't sure if the legs were actually white or just in shadow.
