Can anyone help identify what breed this rooster is?

Thanks for letting me join this forum, I am new, have been raising chickens as long as I can remember, mostly game, when I was a child. As I grew older started raising heavy breeds, my husband passed away in March, so my brother suggested incubating eggs, as my hens are about 3 years old and I'll need new layers, they are Rhode Island Reds, but I have no idea what the rooster is, he just showed up, and nobody claimed him. He's been here since my husband passed. Does anyone have any idea what he might be? I also included a pic of one of my hens. Thank you in advance!

So sorry to hear your husband passed, that has to be difficult for you.

Beautiful boy you have there! I don't know his breed but @Yorkshire Coop has left you the link to our What Breed and Gender.
