Can you ID this Rooster Breed?

I agree that he is probably from a project where someone was working towards a Barred Orpington by crossing a Barred Rock onto an Orpington. The type isn't really correct for either breed yet, the barring is off, and the leg color isn't perfect for either breed either.

Agree completely. Exactly what I was thinking.

Okie dokie, yeah I'm familiar with Rocks just never known one to be human aggressive. She's getting rid of this one because it's extremely human aggressive. She wanted to list it correctly.

Omg I’ve only met aggressive rocks hens and rooster

You've had some terrible luck then. Everyone I know and my own personal experience I've never known a Rock breed chicken to be aggressive.

Thanks, everyone else, for opinions.

Agreed, I'd say he is a "project" Barred Orpington. But no where near what he should be.

It’s a barred rock mix I would guess

This rooster is not a Dominique nor a barred rock. Barred rocks have even barring. This pattern is cuckoo. My guess he is a cross. Maybe between a cuckoo Orpington and a barred rock. As it stands he does not look pure.
