ACTUALLY I MIGHT HAVE SOME HELPFUL COMMENTS ON THAT, I HAVE A ROOSTER THAT LOOKS ALMOST EXACTLY LIKE YOURS, AND HE WAS A STRAY SO I HAD NO CLUE AND DID A BUNCH OF RESEARCH AND FOUND A COUPLE MIXES THAT COULD BE IT: A RED BARRED PLYMOUTH ROCK IS THE CLOSEST LOOKING ONE AND I FOUND A PICTURE OF IT ON HERE...I WILL TRY TO POST THAT INFO IN A MESSAGE BELOW THIS ONE
Thought I would post a pic of my Red Barred Plymouth Rock cock.
His father was a Red Barred that sported out of a hatchery batch of Barred Plymouth Rocks and I bred that bird to show type Barred Rock hens and kept this cock. I know it sort of resembles the Crele pattern, but it is not. I'm working on improving type and size.
I was told that in the early 1900's there were Red Barred Rocks that were kept around Iowa/Kansas. This line came from a small hatchery in Iowa. Thought it might be an interesting discussion if anyone has any history or other info about Red Barred Rocks...?
OR IT COULD BE A RHODE ISLAND RED BARRED ROCK CROSS...BUT I THINK IT LOOKS MORE LIKE THE FIRST ONE. YOURS ACTUALLY LOOKS A LITTLE MORE LIKE THE ONE ABOVE THAN MINE DOES. HERE IS A PICTURE, I AM STILL LEARNING THIS SITE, SO I THINK YOU WILL SEE A PICTURE!!
OOPS THOSE ARE DUCKS. LET ME TRY AGAIN
THIS IS BUTTERCUP...HE IS SIMILAR. I THINK HE MIGHT BE MORE OF A RHODE ISLAND/BARRED ROCK FROM PICTURES ON GOOGLE, WHILE YOURS LOOKS MORE LIKE THE RED BARRED PLYMOUTH ROCK...
HOPE THIS HELPS AND GOOD LUCK, YOU HAVE A BEAUTIFUL ROOSTER THERE!!
