Buckeye? Welsummer? Cockerel?

Any guesses on this 11 week old?? If feel stupid for not knowing this. Of the breeds we bought, I narrowed it down to either a buckeye or welsummer...it was supposed to be a pullet too but you know how that goes.

Looks like a Partridge Rock to me. Pattern and comb are wrong for Buckeye. And body shape is off for Welsummer.

Not a pullet.
Looks more like a buckeye than a Welsummer to me.

Buckeyes shouldn't have straight combs.

I'm actually thinking Rhode Island Red, with that deep red color.

Well....now that I think about it, it’s very possible its a partridge rock. Especially as they look similar to day old buckeye chicks. Plus the local feed store could easily have mixed them up in the bins.....oh well it’s still a beauty

But RIR wouldn't have a black breast though.

I bet my feed store mixed up chicks in the bins. Day old RIR and buckeyes are similar. THANKS

Check the eye color too. Rhode Island Reds have orange/red eyes. Not the typical yellow.
