Can you tell me the breed?

I've started a new flock after losing all my previous chickens to a fox in my woods. I'm really wanting to enter my rooster at the county fair, because I just think he's gorgeous! However, I'm not really sure on the breed he is and I need to know for registration. Thanks a lot!

He is stunning! No idea, I'm not good with rooster id. His coloring looks like Golden Duckwing though. Is he standard size or bantam?

Thank you! He's standard size. I've had a few people that come around the house that think he's some form of game chicken, but I will look into the Golden Duckwing breed

Golden Duckwing isn't a breed just a color that is found in several breeds including game birds

And oops just realized its Gold Duckwing not golden.

His leg color looks greenish grey, that may help narrowing down the breed, of course he might be a mix or he legs might not be "properly" colored.

Agree the gold duckwing is a color found on many breeds, and it's easy to get to with mixed breeds. Just cause I like showing my guy off, here's my mixed Eric....



I agree your guy looks to have some game influence, but he seems a bit round bodied to be pure game, they're usually leaner built. Then again, there are so many varieties I can't keep track of them all.

I'm leaning towards that he's mixed. Or really close to a Gold Duckwing Phoenix. Your guy looks great as well! I just can't decide what to put on the registration form. Or can you even enter a mixed chicken? I'm so new at this it's pitiful.

If you're showing for 4H, then I think you can enter with a mixed breed, since they judging you, not the bird. If you're entering him in a poultry club show, then no. You can not enter a mixed breed. They are judging how well that birds matches it's specific breed standard.
