He will be 15 weeks old on Monday, June 11th. I've yet to hear him crow but he is the one the cockerel that alerts all the chickens when they forage and keeps peace when they are all in the coop/run area. The breeder said he was a Light Sussex but he does not have the white legs I have seen in pictures of that breed.

Thank you for any insight.
 
Delawares have yellow legs and look like that. Aside from that orange coloring (is that dirt?) he looks a lot like one of those.
 
Looks like a either a Delaware mix or a Sex link. Definitely not a Sussex, they have pink legs.

Thanks everyone for your comments. The red is dirt and not on him now. I thought he might have been a Delaware but the breeder swears he doesn't have any Delawares. I will probably keep him and try to get some Delaware hens and see what the biddies look like. He is the largest one so far and does too good of a job in leading the flock.
