I picked out my rooster from a pen with a lot of different breeds in it at my local feed store. I thought he was an orpington but now that he's getting bigger I'm not sure. I'm new to raising chickens and can't figure out what he is. Thanks for the help!

I'm guessing he's bantam sized? Does he have feathered legs, and what color are his legs?

My best guess on color is mille fleur, but that color can come on several breeds.

He is a Millie fluer D'uccle. He is a true bantam so won't get very big. If you'd like I can get you pictures of my various D'uccle roosters.
 
I did get him with two austra white hens and the hens seem to be growing a lot faster than he his. He doesn't have any feathers on his feet and he has grey ish legs.

Not a d'Uccle, they have beards and feathered legs.
Ear lobe looks red, so we can rule out Dutch bantam, too.

He is most likely a Mille Fleur Old English game Bantam, though, as donrae said there are other breeds that look similar as well.

Thanks for the help! Whatever he turns out being I'm sure he's going to look really good! He's also going to be one heck of a crower! He's been crowing from the day we brought him home!
