Hi all! First time posting a question so I hope I'm asking in the correct forum. I apologize in advance if I ended up posting duplicate photos.

I was wondering if someone could help me with what breed my boy, Greg, may be? I need to rehome a couple of his sons which are crosses so I'd like to at least have an idea of what he may be so if someone asks I can tell them what the young boys are crossed with.

He's very docile and calm. It's hard to tell from the photos but he has feathered feet. I'd take a guess that he weighs about 5 lbs and probably about 15 inches tall at a guess. I can't tell you for sure how old he is, but I know he's at least 3+ years. I'm not sure if that matters or not, but in case it may help, I thought I'd add the info. Lol.

Can get different pictures if needed.

Thanks for anyone who can assist me with this.

He has Silkie feathering. He may be pure though just poor quality with a single comb which is recessive in Silkies. Does he have five toes and black skin?😊
If he is a mix he is at least 75% Silkie in order have silkied feathers.
Do you have photos of his sons? Do you know the mothers of his sons?

Sorry for the delay, I was actually out feeding all the birds. He has 5 toes, which I knew, and much to his dislike I picked him up when I was doing chores to check skin colour and I’d say it’s a grayish pink.
I do know the his baby’s momma as the live together. She is a pure silkie black in colour. I do have pictures of their sons, however not super recent ones. I tried to get some pictures of them today to show you, but 2 of them are jerks, which is being nice regarding the one, and they had more interest in getting me and my phone. But here are some pictures of 2 of them I do have from when they were younger and one that is a twin of one of the jerks.
(The 2 white chickens in the photo are not their offspring)

While these boys do not look pure Silkie, they could be. I would say they are at least 87.5% Silkie (based on mother being 100% Silkie and father bring 75% Silkie, both assumptions on my part). No way of knowing what, if any breed the rest of your rooster may be.😊

Thank you so very much for taking the time to reply. I appreciate it! 😁
