Can anyone tell me what kind of breed this little rooster is?

[PlantJoySeeds]

He was sold to me when about 4 months old as a Delaware hen but he turned out to be a rooster, and I sure don't think he is a Delaware. But what is he?? He doesn't even sound like any chicken I've ever heard. He coos and trills like a pigeon (and gets *really* excited for scratch and sounds like he's talking in a foreign chicken language - lol).

Thanks,
Denise

With that brassiness on his hackles and saddle I think he's a mix. Coloring looks a lot like what a Buff X Light Brahma roo looks--only clearly yours is not brahma.

might be part wyandotte

No idea since I'm new to chicken world, but he sure is beautiful!

I could see part colombian wyandotte, but not pure---he's def. a mix. Sorry you didn't get your hen.

I think what you are describing is him calling the girls to 'come see what I've got'. Roos do that to call their girls to treats, worms,etc...they get really excited. If you watch close, he will pick up some and drop it repeatedly to show his girls what he has to offer.

X2 That's what I was thinking exactly. He's probably trying to impress the only 'hen' around. Poor little guy .

Oh, yes, now that I look at the pics, I think you're right that he's probably a Columbian Wyandotte mix of some variety He really is a looker! About his cooing...I have 5 hens and another big-daddy rooster (Buff Brahma) and this little guy makes totally different sounds than any of them. Also, he makes this sound when WE come up to him with food and there are no other chickens around! The only 'normal' sound he does make is his crow :-D
