Bantam cockerel - what breed?

[australorp_breeder]

I received a bantam from someone who needed to get rid of him because his males were fighting. He's my first bantam ever and is extremely cute! Unfortunately, I'm not sure what kind of cockerel he is. He's around 7-8 months old. I'm guessing Old English Game, but I'm not sure. I'd also like to know what color he is.

Thank you.

P.s: It's sort of hard to see, but he has feathers on his legs.

I would probably say the same thing,Old English Game. But I am not sure! I will look more into it.

I'm thinking more of OEG mix of some kind, maybe?

Old English Games have straight combs. He has straight wing carriage like a Serama, slight beard, lightly feathered legs - I'm guessing mixed-bred. Maybe Serama/d'Uccle.

Whatever he is, he's very handsome!

Wait,I don't think the bantam Old English Game have feathered legs...

?

Thank you very much! And just to let everyone know he's about the size of a dove. He's not big at all.

Yeah, I was guessing some sort of cross because of the feathered legs, but I'm not sure.

It's funny you said d'Uccle, because that's the first thing I thought when I saw him. And thanks!

He kind of reminds me of a cross of a Japanese or Serama,Old English Game,and a Faverolle...

Is it possible to have a chicken with more then two breeds in their genes?
