I got this little girl? at the feed store. I was told it was a hen but I am not sure because it mounts the other chickens. It does not crow and my rooster has no issues with it. It has a pea comb and large wattles. Any guesses on a breed, I guessing mix.

it looks like a bantam red cochin rooster to me but i have been wrong more times then right so if i say it ,im sure someone will let me know. hahahhaha i will say that most feed stores only sell full breeded doodles
 
A Red Cochin with a pea comb & clean legs? That's different.
Full breeded doodles????????

It's a mutt.
 
see! all i have to do is guess and you find out what it is. hahahaha.... and doodles is an old country name for baby chicks it is all i have ever heard them called.

hatchery quality Buff Brahma bantam rooster. Reason he doesn't crow is because you have another roo who is more dominant than him.
brahma have feathered feet and the coloring isnt right, it isnt even buff
here is what the coloring should look like (he is not the best exampole he has a little to much red and needs more tan)
 
Thanks everybody! My feed store sells just about everything, not just full breeds. Well I guess I have another rooster. Lets hope it isn't too much for the three little hens.

That's why I said hatchery quality, the Columbian pattern fits, and I have seen hatchery brahmas without feathered legs too. As for the colour, again hatchery quality, I know one hatchery I use to order from their "buffs" that would pass sooner as a red than any buff I have ever seen.
