What breed is this? I'm confused!

Haha yes it is

I just got my first flock on Saturday but I've been researching them for the last month or two so I can learn everything I need to know about chickens. Never thought chickens were such a complex creature!

He looks like a Dominique mix, possibly an Easter Egger. I see the muffs/beard, too.

If the father of this rooster is a barred rock, and the mother is an Easter egger, his comb would be a pea shaped comb, sort of like a Dominque. He would get a beard snd muff from his mother.

He's a mystery chick . We are thinking cockerel though? He's pinking up quickly!

For those with mystery chicks, I thought I'd post an update. Rosie is now Junior, and he's a big beautiful rooster. That's him with my granddaughter as my avatar.

Thanks for the update! He's sure a handsome bird.

I know I'm quoting a older post but I wanted to clear something up before someone gets the wrong idea.

The comb of a Barred Rock / Easter Egger cross could be any type since a Easter Egger is a mixed breed and can carry more than one comb gene in it background. Also Pea comb and Rose comb (the comb that is on a Dominque) are as different as a Single comb and a Pea comb.
