Can anyone throw me a clue as to what breed or mix he may be? I originally thought he was some sort of cornish cross, because he's quite solid and tight feathered.

I believe you were correct on your thinking a Cornish cross.
I believe he is a Dark Cornish cross. That is a handsome fella.

Do you have any Buff Orpington hens? Dark Cornish & BO make an excellent cross. Of course he isn't pure, but he just screams Dark Cornish to me.

I think I've got a BO pullet, but she's only about 2 weeks old. Something for me to experiment with in a few months.

Thank you! He's not aggressive (yet), but he sure isn't taking it easy on the girls!

I say yet because he's just now reached his sexual maturity, I'm guessing he's 7 months old. I can't remember when I bought him, but it was during the spring while Atwoods still had their chicks in stock. I have two others but they haven't feathered out as nicely as he did.
