another breed question

Update: she’s a he. And likely a Dominique mix - found big daddy hazel a home on a ranch in Temecula and will go back for the other bird sat. Got this bird today. Thought it was a barred rock hen until someone pointed out it has a rose comb so it can't be a barred rock. Who knows what it is? she's a big one. named her big momma hazel.
big feet white with dark on them. THANK YOU

I think it's a cockerel

No clue on the breed but it's a "he"

That’s a Dominique cockerel

WTF! Well Thats FANtasTIC! My she is a he. Luckily a chicken expert on my fb spotted the greenfeathers and the pointy ones at the base of the tail and they have adult birds very similar they sent me pics of. So now this guy is gonna go live on a ranch with a zillion other chickens and a different friend is giving me a silver lace wyandotte

Well big daddy going to a ranch and sat this barred rock hen comes to my place. What a dramatic turn of events!

That’s a cockerel and he has a pea comb. He is a Barred Plymouth Rock and maybe Buckeye mix.

With white feet I would guess a mix breed rooster.

I'm not sure if you are aware of this but adding grown birds from lots of different sources like this is a really risky business. There are deadly chicken viruses which can lie dormant in a healthy looking bird for weeks, months or even years and infect your flock causing real heartache. I know this because I brought Marek's Disease into my flock this way and once you have it there is no getting rid of it. It is an incredibly common disease so don't think you would be unlucky to get it because it is more a question of being lucky not to get it and the more different places you get birds from the greater the risk. There are other less common diseases too. Marek's can even thwart the strictest of quarantine processes, so please weigh up this risk carefully when adding new birds.
