He definitely has black feathers in his wings and tail like the Production red and this was very obvious when he was younger. He still has some black, mostly in the tips of his wings. His legs appear to be slate, though the bottom of his feet appear to be flesh colored (white), like the Ameraucana.
Though I'd really like to know his true identity, I guess it's not that important as I'm keeping him regardless. He's just an awesome bird and I intend to leave him with the hens he's already with, which are BO. I'm also keeping one of the BO roos in the pen, so if I ever decide to hatch chicks from this group of hens, I'll have to remove BigRed, to keep my BO line as true as possible.
Thanks for all your opinions so far. I'm guessing this is one mystery which will never be solved.
