Help identifying breed

[katgolightly]

I'm trying to identify the breed of a "Free Rare & Exotic" we got last year. We've actually been widly pleased with this Roo's demeanor and size. We want to see about getting him a girlfriend to see how they do as a dual purpose breed.

Hopefully this will let me link to flickr.

We *think* he is a Dark Cochin?

Partridge Cochin

My guess is Road Island Red! could be a cross though.

I have trouble believing that he's a RIR unless the Roo's look nothing like the hens. We have 11 RIR hens running around. The feathered feet would also seem to make that high unlikely.

Oh, my gosh, he is beautiful, not dark cornish. I would have to go with the partridge cochin.
