Definitely has Sebright in him, he is showing partial hen feathering, and a rose comb. looks like he very well does have a silver laced pattern going on too (though at the same time, it isn't.) Is it Sebright X d'Uccle? Hard to say for sure, but i do agree he has Sebright in him.

Thank you to the new people who have answered! His comb doesn't look longish at all to be a rose comb. It looks just round with little stubs on the top. It reminds me of like...almost a ball of cotton on his head...or is that considered rose comb as well?

I've been looking up bantam breeds and his body looks like a Belgian D/Uccle but with less feathers on his legs/feet and he Belgian D/Uccles don't have rose combs like my cockerel.

Here's another picture to give you guys an idea of his size compared to my standard-size chickens:

here's a pic of my sebright, you can see where the comb and general shape come from....

Ohh! Wow they're beautiful! I sort of see where he would get it now. So the beard and feathered legs/feet would be from a D'Uccle...I hope.

I've asked three other people outside of BYC what cross he might be and two of them told me Sebright as well. They aren't sure of the other breed, but one person did say maybe D'Uccle. If I get a Sebright hen for him would she be a good size for him to mount? Like, would they be close to the same size?
