I got 3 roosters from my neighbor, who has a big flock of mixed ages and breeds. They are freakishly wild so they'll probably go in the freezer.
Obviously mutts can look like anything. I just wondered if any of you experienced people out there recognized anything on breed? Just curious. They will all cook the same.
At least 2 of them have spurs, and they all have big fluffy tails, so I'm assuming they must be older than my 4-month-old Barred Rock roos, who are starting to have fluffy tails, but don't have spurs yet.
I am also curious about the combs. They don't look like the big single combs on my BR's. Are they a certain kind? Or are they just mutt combs?
One more question. What are the proper names for their colors? I know next to nothing about chicken colors and patterns.
I'm having fun with this chicken sleuthing.
Here's the first roo:
And here is the second one:
And here is the third one:
Pic could be better, but I can't tell the spurs on him like I can on the other two...
