Chicken breed id

[SrfabzHI]

Hello,
I'm a new backyard chicken owner. Our first chick we rescued turned out to be a Cockerel. We are located in Hawaii so he was a feral day old chick, his siblings were killed by mongoose. At first I thought he was a Leghorn, but then he started to grow random black spotted feathers at 6- 8 weeks old. Now he's 12 weeks old and he has copper brown feathers on his back and saddle area. His legs are a very pale pink/peach almost white color. He's quite vocal, he'll cluck back at you when you talk to him, as well as scream/growl back when you make a sound of frustration. Lol. My daughter calls him her emotional support chicken because he just makes the most appropriate vocalizations when she talks to him. Like he understands her. Lol. At the moment he likes to be picked up and held. But at times he does go after and attack feet or articles of clothing that are conspicuous to him, like pants or bright colored shirts. I write this because it might give a clue to his personality &

temperament, breed wise? I've attached photos of our Roo. Another concern we have is if he needs to be in his own coop? He bullies our 2 younger pullets, sometimes goes in a straight rooster attack on them if they get to close to his space. Should we keep him separate from the girls? We have no plans of cross breeding.

I have red sex link hens and they have very different body shapes than this one. Are the roos differently shaped than the hens? This looks more like my white leghorn, shape wise.

Since they’re sexlinked, roos and hens look very different. I also vote red sexlink.

Same breeds aren't always used to make them.
He has some Leghorn in him, clearly.

Okay, thanks!

What's the logic in that?

That's a wonderful question. Who decides these things? I'm considering writing a letter to that person comparing and contrasting chickens to dogs, and the accompanying ordinances, as well as the fairness of said ordinances.

I don't know the breed, but he is gorgeous. How many hens do you have? Pullets?

 

[FuzzyCritters]

He is most likely a red sex link.

No clue what he is but if you only have two pullets for him and he’s bullying them I would separate them but make sure he can see them so he doesn’t get lonely.

Just 2. One Black Star and one Easter Egger.

Separate him, but make sure he can see them. If you want to get into the chicken rescuing business, you may want to build another coop and run for roos and only roos. I would recommend getting 6+ more pullets, and waiting until most of them to grow up until putting them back together.

I can’t ID the breed since I’m lousy with that, but he does look nice. I like the spots of colors on him. Perhaps he’ll be nicer to the pullets once they’re mature?
