    My Silkie chicken just laid ann egg

    What breed is my rooster?

    I've had my rooster for 1 and a half years and I still don't know what breed he is. We bought him at a round up farm supply store. They had a huge cage of various roughed up roosters and none of them were identified. I just was to know if anyone has any guesses on what breed he could be.
