Hi, I am having a dilemma..what is he? A mix? Thanks!

I got him not too long ago from some person who didn’t want him, apparently the rooster(Pepe) has been raised by a little girl, so that’s why I’m not turning him into soup

He looks to be a barnyard mix of some sort. He's possibly got some Orpington in him. Does he have feathered legs or anything like that? Do you think you could get a picture of him standing? It'd help to see what his whole body shape is as that sometimes points to what he is mixed with.

Orpington? I’ve heard of those guys. Real pretty! Also, he does not have feathered legs..BUTTT he does have black skin/black scales on his legs. I’ll go see if I have a picture of him standing so you can get a better shot at seeing what he’s mixed with. He’s asleep right now, so I’ll just see if I have a photo of him from a little while ago. Thanks!

Here he is standing up! One thing I’ve noticed is that he towers over all the other chickens in the flock, and by no means are the chickens that I have small…except for maybe one lol. One is an Ameraucana(correct me if I spelt it wrong), and the two others are these big bielefelder hens.

No clue. But he looks a little like my boy and mine is a Golden Cuckoo maran, Black Copper maran mix

The ameraucana is easily the smallest, but has the most pretty feathers in my opinion.

Ah, I see the resemblance quite a bit! Perhaps my rooster’s parents were both also half breeds? Maybe that’s why it’s so hard to figure out his lineage.

Thanks for sharing out!
