Found this guy walking in the park...What kind of rooster is he? He's half the size of my Delaware rooster.Thank you!!

He's a cross... looks like there may be some dark brahma bantam in there somewhere...

 

[Illia]

I don't think there is any Brahma in there at all.

He looks to be a mutt, quite likely with some Old English Game or a similar breed in him.

if he's got 5 toes, he is a very bad quality Faverolle

 

[ChickyLaura]

Well, "quality" or not, I think he's cool!!!

 

[sourland]

Whatever he is, he's had a rough life.

 

[goldeneggtees]

I agree. Poor guy, give him some TLC for us, pleeeze.

check him very carefully for mites

Thank you everyone!! Wow,was he hungry.....Mites,what should I look for ? I did see a patch of missing feathers on his back,by his tail feathers..I hope he does not have mites and pass it to my delaware.

look closely at the skin especially around the vent. mites are very tiny moving dots. wild birds can pass them to your birds. his rough feathers might be from them. If he does have them I would give him a bath in flea shampoo ( keep out of eyes) or use adams flea and tick spray. I regularly treat my silkies for mite.
