Help ID Hybrid Chicken Teens from Unknown Hybrid Roo

The rooster is very mixed. It think it is very likely that his own parents were mixed breeds, too. So unless you can get more information about him from whoever raised him, I think you won't ever know what exact breeds are in his ancestry.

He has a small crest, but that could come from many sources, not just Polish. Silkies, Houdans, Appenzeller spitzhaubens, Icelandics, Legbars are just a few of the breeds that have crests.

He has pure red earlobes, and that in and of itself means he is not a first generation Polish cross.

His comb is irregular. It shows evidence of crossing of different types of combs.

In short, he is a cross breed, and they are unique. I doubt you could ever make another bird exactly like him.

But he is beautiful, and so are his children. There is absolutely nothing wrong with mixed breeds. They are just as good as pure breeds.

You’re right. Can’t lose sight of the fact that the birds are wonderful, pure beings whatever they ‘are’. We’ve totally accepted that we likely won’t know daddy rooster’s x unless it was obvious to someone on here whose had or knows his hybrid or one similar. I will definitely share what his grand babies from his soon to be laying adult babies look like. Should be interesting!
