HELP, What breed is this rooster?

[shay20]

Hello, I got this rooster, I am not sure what breed he is, but i am leaning on Black Araucana or Ameraucana. Not sure.
Any one know what breed he might be.

I think you are right!
Looks like he has a little tuft on his head though suggesting he may be crossed with something too.

If you were in the UK, I'd say pure Araucana....did you import?

Neither Ameracauna nor Aracauna! Maybe Australorp?

ONLY if the person you got him from imported eggs or live birds sometime ago. But it's more likely he's a mix between a crested bird (maybe Polish?) and a non-crested bird. He doesn't have the body of a Polish...and doesn't have the fifth toe like a silkie. He also has a pea comb which means that the parent had a pea comb...
