Don't know what breed he is

[EggSighted4Life]

Golden comet rooster maybe or some other production sex link rooster.

This was my other thought... I'm not too familiar with them.

Not a red cross buff IMO... or it wouldn't be white based.

Always scary to bring new flock members in regardless of price... poultry disease could be present and not yet have presented for their current owners to see. The reason why quarantine for 30 days minimum is recommended... to give things a chance to present if they are going to. Regarding parasites, his feathers look pretty good condition still.

Looks like he might be close to a year old or a tad under... by spur size. Temperament towards humans is key! Have you had any rooster experience before? Did she say how long she has had him for? Or anything about their experience with his demeanor?

How old are your buffs? 4 might not be enough to keep them in good condition and not over mated... so just have their condition on your radar so you can deal with it if need be, should he have favorites or just be too much for them.

Looks like he is a combination of a few nice breeds. How is his temperament?

Very sweet we can hold him

Red sexlink (also known as golden comet, red star, cinnamon queen, etc.). Very pretty!

He's super sweet my 4 year old can walk up to him n pet. He's great w my hens the started laying just about a month ago. Only time he mounts them is when they are out of their run. I plan on getting more as soon as I get a horse stable converted for them. I have never had chickens myself but grew up w people that did not my husband boss has many in case we have any questions. The lady couldn't tell me much just he was sweet n loves cuddles

Also in case you have any questions you have the best information source right at your fingertips. BYC! That is one beautiful rooster you have. Maybe an odd question but does he have a name ?
