1 oddball chicken

He could be a mutt. Sebright roosters are supposed to have rose combs and are hen feathered, like this guy.
ETA the image won't show up, so just google sebright rooster and you will see what I mean


The Seabright comb looks exactly like Ernie’s does! That makes sense why I was finding different names, I was just going by his coloring and thought maybe his comb just wasn’t developed yet.
 
Jimmie- Easter egger pullet
Copper- Gold laced Wyandotte pullet
Bert- Silver duckwing Old English game bantam cockerel.
Ernie- Golden Sebright cockerel.

Previous posts are correct. Gold laced Wyandottes should have rose combs and yours has a single comb. That happens sometimes, especially from hatchery chicks. The Sebright also is unusual in having male feathering, but again, it happens, especially with hatchery birds.

What do you mean male feathering?
 
Most Sebright roosters have the rounded, short feathers on their tails and necks that hens usually have. Roosters of other breeds have feather shapes similar to Bert's.
 
What do you mean male feathering?
Long pointed hackle feathers, saddle feathers, curved sickle feathers.

Thank you everyone! You all have been so helpful and nice and we really appreciate it!! I can’t wait for Jimmie to start laying eggs now lol. Currently we’re getting at least one egg, some days 2 from our leghorns so hopefully the others will lay soon!
