Bantam Australorp?

[nicolelo34]

I have this a Bantam rooster that I’ve thought was a black australorp. But the white is throwing me off. Can anyone help me figure out what he is?

Thanks!

Black OEGB or Leghorn bantam.

I'm thinking black leghorn bantam. Body structure isn't right for an OEGB.

Hi there, hope you are enjoying BYC!

You are correct, the white lobes mean he is indeed NOT an Australorp. Where did he come from?

My top guesses are black Dutch bantam..

or not so much but second guess is white faced black Spanish bantam..

Wait, are you sure it’s male? I see no saddles to go with that comb. But, if you are sure, it is some sort of hen feathered breed.

That's fantastic thinking.. if not comparing with the gals behind him in the first photo.

I don't think it's a hen feathered breed, as far as I can tell.. just not old enough to be sporting gender specific saddle feathers yet. Looks like they're starting to come in though.

I see those now. But yes, I did look at those hens behind him and was confused, because he was a clear roo compared to them, lol.

Yes, I’m certain he’s a cockerel as he is the only one in my flock crowing. He is about 11 weeks old, I believe. I got him from Tractor Supply in the assorted Bantam bin.

I really appreciate y’alls input as I am new to chickens! This is my first flock.

They get their chicks from Hoover's.. none of their bantams match this description.. maybe it was placed in the wrong bin and is actually a "blue" (black) Andalusian?? They may be busy updating their site as it's not cooperating very well at the moment.

I love a good mystery!
