I'm not sure, he doesn't crow a lot, his tail is still coming in. He looks older (size) than he is, I think. The other two I got from a different guy have their tails. They crow - a lot, LOL.
It is hard to tell, maybe his tail got pulled out partly - he is the one they butchered his...

Wow your pyle has colors comparable to mine! he must be hatchery qaulity!
Believe it or not, I think he is mixed. I had mama, and 15 chicks (have since lost mama and 5 pullets) that I bought at an auction. He is the prettiest one out of them. There is one that is pure white!! And both...

I was thinking old english in there, too - oegb are VERY popular around here - almost everyone has at least one or two running around. (I have about, umm... 18 or 20 - LOL)
ETA - I do have a red pyle sport oegb with slate legs - maybe the slate legs still came from the oegb?

not sure what else he is mixed...

Normal number of toes - no extras. No feathered legs.
When I got him as a teeny thing, I put my hand in his cage to take him out - and he came at me with both feet. He's always been a bit aggressive.
He isn't a bad roo - just doesn't like people much. He is good to his hens...
Wow, thanks for all the replies, guys !! I'll check into those breed pics.
I got him from an Amish man, so I doubt the guy was breeding them special - he is probably some mix of whatever the Amish gentleman had on his farm. He may have had sebrights, I doubt he had silkies, although that...
I should ask, what isn't he? LOL I am sure he is Mutt, but it would be nice to know what is in him (or some clue, anyway).
he is a bantam - midsized, though, maybe 8 or 9 inches tall.
Feathers are compact - not loose, and he is colored like some Modern English games I have seen, but he hasn't...
