Huey, the Roo . . . What am I? Pic Attached (I hope)

[Atlchick]

This is Huey, about 12" tall to the top of his back, white legs. Can you tell what breed this fella might be?

Looks like a Black sex link male.

 

[rodriguezpoultry]

Agree with Dustin in it probably being a black sex-link male. Seems odd that they would use a Marans in the sex-link pen though?

 

[Atlchick]

I'm just learning here . . . thanks for the reply. One more question, though, can you tell me what makes you think sex link. That's a cross between two breeds, right?

go to feather site and look at the sex link pics

More importantly than just directing to feathersite, BSL are often a cross between Barred Rocks and Rhode Island Reds. Looking at the barring pattern this bird displays, his comb, and his shank color, you can determine that for barring, single comb, and yellow legs there is only one other breed that displays all these characteristics, Barred Rocks. On this birds "hip" you will notice that he has red (gold) leaking through. This is what led me to determine that he was a BSL.

I think it is a cross between a Barred Rock and a Cuckoo Maran.

 

[ChooksChick]

Is it just me? These legs look white to me, not yellow- I do see the red leaking through, though.

 

[Atlchick]

He does have VERY white legs, and you are right about the red 'leaking through'.

 

[rodriguezpoultry]

The red leaking through could be from where the RIR male was bred to the Cuckoo Marans hen. Again, it does not make much sense to me, but I have heard of several posters doing it on this board.
