Abandoned Chicken

Hi all,

Someone dumped a rooster at my farm the other day. He is quite beautiful and I have never seen anything like him before. Does anyone recognize what breed he is or could be?

Not Marans....likely just a mutt(mix of several breeds).
Odd comb and 'beard' feathers.

Yes! His comb is almost like a bowl! He has only let me get close to him today. His comb doesn't seem to bother him, but it would me. Maybe with some fresh fruits and veggies it will shape up.

an Easter egger is any bird crossed with Ameraucana or Araucana.

it won't shape up... That's what happens when you mix comb types.
