What is this crazy-looking chicken?

I recently got an order from Sandhill Preservation. In my order I received Shamos, Kriekenkops (Twentse Hoens), Black Leghorns, White Leghorns, Black Orps, Golden Campines, Silver-Penciled Hamburgs, Welsummers, and Muffed OEGs. This guy doesn't fit ANY of those categories!!! Unless it's some mutant Silver-Penciled Hamburg? It does have lacing around the neck... but the legs are yellow, not dark. Oh, and you can't see the front of it well, but it has a rose-shaped comb like the hamburgs.

Also, I'm thinking it's a cockerel (it's about 10 weeks old). THOUGHTS?

It's definitely a rooster. Did you get any free chicks? He may be a mix breed.

Silver Duckwing Kraienkoppe, cockerel. Lots of red leakage though.

Awesome! Thanks. The order was for Red Breasted Black Kraienkoppes but I bet a Silver Duckwing slipped in instead!

I'd say your right. If he molts out all that red he'll be a fairly nice looking rooster.

I just looked up Silver Duckwing Kraienkoppe roos. Gorgeous birds! Seems like a happy accident!
