Can you help me figure out this Roo's breeds?

This is Fred. He is a mix we received from a local farmer friend. They have a Salmon Fav. roo, Ameracauna roo. The hens they have are: ameraucana, PBR, white leghorn, Frizzles (black) and not sure what else. Any thoughts as to what Fred's combo breeds might be???? Although this photo doesn't show it - he is starting to get some gray/silver feathers on his legs - AND he has awesomely beautiful gray/silver feathers speckled on his body and under his wings.

feathered legs leads to the salmon fav. roo unless the frizzles are a feathered leg breed as any breed can be frizzled

the ee's and salmon fav both have beards...so

how many toes??

Fred has 4 toes. Ameraucanas have pea combs, but.... maybe a combo with Fav? Someone here said maybe RIR in the mix - but don't think the Farmer has/had a RIR.

OK. Just found this thread about "Favacaunas" - an unofficial breed crossing between a Favorelle and Ameraucana. There's a pic on there of a rooster that looks like a slightly older version of our Fred. This may be the answer! Also, they mention on here that some of these have 5 toes, some 4 on one/ 5 on the other - and some 4 toes. The hens end up with pea combs, but the roos have a comb like Fred. Unless someone else has some more compelling evidence. (lol) I think this really may be the answer. Cool!
