Help ID my Tractor Suprize Rooster.

[Chrysanthemum_Sky]

Meet Chanticleer. He is about 7.5 months old. He was bought from a bin at Tractor Supply that said Production Blue. Google image searches said maybe Rhode Island Red or Brown Leghorn.
I only have one picture of him as a chick and it's not great. I have many pics of him as he gre up though.

What do you guys think?

No idea, but he is stunning

He's not a pure RIR, that I can tell from the baby picture. RIRs as chicks are more of a ginger (I guess) . . . well here's a picture of the ones I had . .

Production blues are Rhode Island Red crossed with blue Australorp, but neither of these breeds has white ear lobes. I think he is a different hybrid. Maybe Starlight Green egger? Handsome guy either way.

The white earlobes were throwing me too. I'll look up starlight green eggers.

That's what I thought too.

Don't know his breed, but just wanted to say that I also had a rooster that looked almost like that once (but with less red) also named Chanticleer! I always called him Shanti for short.
