I need some help identifying this gorgeous blue bantam rooster I just picked up. I brought him home thinking he was a blue andalusian bantam, but only realized after I got home that they don't usually carry the hen feathered gene.
I have no information on his ancestry, so he could be a purebred or a mix.

Color: blue with lacing, Andalusian style. Hen feathered.
Comb: single, medium/large with white earlobes.
Temperament: he is extremely friendly and docile. He lets my hens and my other roo do whatever they want to him without retaliating, but he doesn't run and hide either. He's very chill.

I can tell he's been handled and loved by someone, so my guess is that his previous owner thought he was a hen for a long time (hence the hen feathering). He is definitely a rooster, though, I'm guessing around 1-2 years old.

Pictures attached.

How do you know he's a he?
He exhibits clear rooster behaviors, i.e. "dancing" for my hens, and he has spurs. Sorry, I thought I got a better shot of his spurs in the pic with his feet in it. I haven't heard him crow yet but I'm sure he will in the morning.
