Grown Rooster ID: What variety of Crele / Cuckoo Orpington is this?

[Paradisewife]

That could be. But it would also depend on the hen. A wide, willing hen could very well be bred where a a narrow and or unwilling hen likely would not. I've had males with mobility issues still father chicks before. They just have to convince the hens to cooperate

I know that for sure! I've got a big dopey 2 yo production red that has no mobility issues, but also no willing hens .

Thanks so much, everyone. The more I read up on the color descriptions the more off it seemed. Glad I'm not crazy.

This might be far out but I did at least find a type that seems to match his coloration (especially in the younger photo): the Lemon Cuckoo Niederrheiner. But regardless, based on what Colt said above it would probably be super unwise to assume anything about his actual genetics without any reliable info from the original breeder.

I'll be sure not to bank on any particular result if he actually manages to reproduce in the first place!

It's close to a Lemon Cuckoo, but they should have even clear coloring throughout and not have a dark tail.

He is absolutely massive! I for one would like to see him succeed in wooing a hen because he could makes some glorious chicks!

He really is a gorgeous rooster.
Good luck with him and please post photos of any chicks he produces. Will be very interesting to follow.
