Chicken breed id

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.

I have them free ranging the yard together for a few hours each day. They all seem fine and dandy during that time. He just gets aggressive with the girls in the coop they share.

Oh no! Than yes, keep him separated, but where he can still see them. You could try doing the see but don't touch method and re integrate him, but he may have to be kept seperate forever. I would wait until the pullets are mature to re integrate.

I agree.

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?

That's what we are hoping as well. I'm thinking it's just teenage roo hormones. Lol

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.

Thank you! We think so as well. We have grown quite attached to him. Our kids just love him. Even tho he gets pecky with them sometimes. We try to handle him as much as we can to keep him tame. One of our neighbors mentioned he could have some jungle fowl in him.

Okay, thanks!

Okay, thanks!

What's interesting is the fact he came from a feral chicken colony. I would say that most of the feral chickens running around in Hawaii are either black, copper, or red/brown. You rarely come across any feral white Leghorns. At least I haven't seen any.
