What is he made of? He has a black beard, small comb, but has a ton of feathers and as a result looks fluffy. His body is mostly black with silvery neck feathers and some colored wing feathers. He has long spurs with black beak and black slate legs. He is short. I can’t really send an image now but I may be able to later on.

I don’t think EEs are anything specifically but he could have some ameraucana in him because of the muffs and beard. They are usually a mix of a blue/green egg layer and something else but every hatchery has their own mix from what I understand. Where did you get him?

True, most EE's I heard were just a mix with some ameraucana in them.

Sadly his origins are unknown even to his previous owners. They are older people, who didn’t care much for specifics and gave him to me out of kindness. I can only assume that he was hatched out of someone’s backyard and was sold to the previous owners at a flea market.

Well of course, but I was wondering what else he could have in him. I now realize it may be harder to figure out what he is made of without a proper dna test .

He's a bantam, correct?

Well to be completely honest he does give off some bantam. He has big long spurs akin to that of some bantams, is shorter than your typical rooster, and looks like a fuzzball. I wouldn’t say he’s quite bantam size, but he was definitely a runt compared to the other roosters kept around him.

Well, he's an adorable little guy whatever he is!
