He looks like a mixed breed, handsome though!

Heads up though, this roo has scaly leg mites like your other, they need treatment asap. Probably need to treat all of them now.

Smear his legs with Vaseline or Bag Balm. The mites will suffocate. You'll need to treat your coop and probably change the bedding.

Here are some Cubalayas , yours has the same tail type. I think you have a Sussex/Cubalaya cross.

Really informative info here, read it all. Some of it's pretty funny! WD-40?

You will need to clean the coop with a microsope, because the mites can hang out in the wood and wait for their next victim.

He looks to me like a spangled Aseel or a Aseel cross
