Any guesses as to what he might be? The bus was coming to take our unwanted roosters off to freezer camp. So a friend dumped his unwanted roosters in our yard. This one was a sweetheart and he missed the bus. He’s probably about 10 months old now.

Mixed breed. Probably cuckoo Marans or barred rock cross.

Love the RR in the background. I have one, but he does not like my chickens.

I agree with Jed. Crossbred for sure. Very well could be Barred Rock or Cuckoo Marans cross. One of his parents was barred for sure.

Thanks. He is so many different colors, I couldn’t begin to guess.

I’ve been really pleased and definitely surprised at how good both girls have been. The Guineas were more difficult for them to ignore....all that spastic energy is hard to resist!

Thanks! I never would have guessed that from all those colors!

Barring is dominant. So all of his chicks will show barring as well.
