Curiosity will be the death of me!

So... I am new here as a Member but have been here previously lurking a long time as a non-Member LOL
I will drive you insane with questions I am sure but for now this is my first....
I have an old boy - Pekin Bantam - was in need of a retirement home or ..crrriiccckkkk as the farmer was selling off his farmyard...
Now the old boy was supposedly firing blanks...so I let him run in my breakfast crew pen (egg layers) to keep them in line but oh no... out of curiousity I wanted to confirm if he was too old for the job so stuck 6 x egg layer eggs in the inci to discover he is indeed still firing on al cylinders so now I want to confirm his actual patterning - as I guess he is incomplete or a 'bitsa' as wecall it (bits of this - bits of that)
Don't think I intend to use him seriously in any project but am intrigued to know his genetic makeup...
So what do you think... no history on him at all apart from his was purchased from a Pekin breeder and is around 4-5 yr old....

I appreciate this could be an impossible call with no info - only thing I can confirm is that he is blue-gold

The only thing I can figure is that he looks like some kind of Cochin bantam cross. He's handsome though!

I'd agree on some Bantam Cochin in his mix for sure.

He is Pekin Bantam (back garden type) I am sure.. Pekin bantams are slightly different from Cochins but my real question was about his feather pattern if anyone can help? xxx
