Curious About Rooster's Breed(s)

[MrsMoonCat]

Does anyone know what breed or breeds that Henry might be? I haven't found any photos that look like him.
Thanks for the help.

at least part Sicilian Buttercup it looks like and some crested breed...how many toes does he have it looks like he has only 4

I wondered about Buttercup when I saw his comb, but I didn't know if any other breeds carried that trait. He does have just the 4 toes. He's a very quiet and gentle bird .

I agree on the buttercup. No idea what else though, but obviously a crested breed.

Thank you both for replying. It's interesting to find out what some of these mixed birds are. I really like his spiky little crest. My DH calls him "Dragon" instead of Henry Now I can tell him that Buttercup and Dragon would definitely cancel each other out.

I'd say he doesn't have buttercup in him, rather he is a Polish cross. Crossing a Polish with a straight combed breed often yields a comb similar to a buttercup.

Thank you vcomb. I didn't know that. He is in the pen with a bunch of mixed birds so it will be fun seeing what kind of chicks come out of it.

I think he is exquisite. Beautiful eye, and those feathers, like jewels.

Thank you, he does get the admiring glances from the hennies

Vcomb is correct. He is a Polish mix; no buttercup in the mix.
