breed

Hey i'm new here and I was wondering

could anybody tell me what kind of breed my rooster is.

Welcome and he is a mixed breed. Hard to guess what went in him as he is a little unusual but would guess he has brahma(pea comb and evidence of feather leg in ancestry) and white leghorn(dominant white and very long tail) in his ancestry.

Here are a few more pictures of him

and what about this one

Your first bird looks to be a SexLink rooster. If you enlarge the pic, he has a straight comb that is just flopped over. The feathers on his legs are a bit odd, but hatchery birds are very mixed, so it could be a throwback to something they put in for size back in the line.

I think he is a game cock also because his spurs are made very differently. He also crows all the time and is very aggressive.

well he has got a common game colour (red pyle) but he isnt the shape of a game bird.

It has a pea comb- it clearly shows he has the reduced wattles typical of pea combed birds. The comb looks unusual and 'floppy' because it's a common result of mixing single and pea combs.

I was tempted to suggest cornish for the size on breast and a few other physical features but still would have to account for feathered legs. Cornish and leghorn would work except neither have feathered legs.

Any breed or mix can throw very aggressive roos. Some leghorn lines are known to have very aggressive roosters- the kind that keep trying to attack you despite being kicked away repeatedly.

could anybody tell me about the last rooster I posted?
