Is this a kelso rooster? Or a cowan kelso? Or something else? I have done a bunch of research now, a

[snorie797]

Here's pictures of the rooster which is dark red/black. And pictures when he was a chick and his sisters were chicks. Girls a wheaten color, males dark. Is this what a cowan chick looks like? I am not having much luck finding a picture of any chicks that look like these. I want to know whether the female will be a good sitter, or if they will fight with my other chickens. Help me please.

Thanks!

You cant really tell what they are just by looking at them.

try asking on the game bird thread in the breeds, genetics and showing section. They might be able to help you out.

I am far from being any kind of bird expert but I'll take a guess based on its head structure. It has a forward set that kinda looks like a shamo or possibly a malay even... its a young bird doesnt have much spur yet and the pic is a little fuzzy but what spur is there a looks like it curves forward and down... interesting. I need to look at the structure drawings again. The drawings are posted on this site... book section maybe... saladin or orlando posted them... good stuff. Check it out.

Its probably a crossbreed but because of the tail feather angulation off the back... calcuta or malayo. I'm probably wrong but it was fun comparing.

If I guessed right do I get one? Lol!
