    What breed is this?

    Yes this is a rooster...The comb and waddles raise an eyebrow but his feeble attempts at trying to crow are a dead give away....Just wondering what his breed is so I know what he's going to look like when he's older...I'm going to keep him and try out that "no crow collar"
