what type of roo?

[BroodyBettysMom]

I'd appreciate the input. The feed and supply store just told me he was a big roo. That I can tell! What kind is he though?

 

[BroodyBettysMom]

I know to the left of him is one of my b.o. and to the right is one of my americaunas and another.

I'm not an expert, but with that comb and coloring, possibly a Java?

I just looked them up, new chicken mom and all, he does look like the mottled variety! I love coffee too, so having a java would be cool!

I had a mottled java rooster and he kinda looks like that

He looks like a mottled Java. By the way, there is no such breed as Americauna. You have an Easter Egger.

@junebuggena ameracauna IS a real breed that does exist, but they're just fairly rare and you can't just buy them from any feed store that has a box labeled "ameraucanas" (because then you would get easter eggers). True breed ameraucanas are very hard to find, but do exist and some people sell EE's (mixed breeds that lay blue or green eggs and have a beard and pea comb) and try to convince people they are ameraucanas

I know there is a real breed called Ameraucana. I said there is no such thing as Americauna.

Sorry for my spelling! That's what I meant! I received all of my chickens from a local, reputable breeder except 3 ( my rooster and two black pullets, which I'm not sure what those are either). Taught me one thing, always go with reputable breeders!
