    What kind of rooster is this?

    Got this chicken last July , he was suppose to be a hen. Have no idea what breed he is . Might be a mix of something. Red orange eyes buff fuzzy ears , fleshy pink streaked legs. Buff on white with black specks in tail feathers. Any help or ideas. Thank you! Ian

    What breed are these?

    Yes they were labeled salmon faverolles at tractor supply :( right next to broilers. That's my concern. They are a couple days over a month old .only thing else that looks similar to me are Leghorn or road island whites. Guess I'll find out as they age hah.. Thank you old grey mare and friends
