i know they are roos but what breed?

[BekahBear]

we just picked up 2 roosters this morning.

we got them to keep the girls company while they free range all day. not to mention we would like to try hatching some chicks this spring. one is red/gold/green and the other is white with red spots on his back. the lady they came from says they are RIR mixes and under a year old. any ideas what they might be mixed with? also, i'm trying to think of names for them so if you have any name ideas let me know.
well, here they are

both crosses

OP said they are crosses--she wants to have an idea of the breeds they carry: their ancestry.

The second one I am going to bet has a LOT of white leghorn in it.

Could the first one maybe have Brown Leghorn, and RIR, and something else??

i know she has a RIR roo. no idea what other chicken breeds she has. i'll have to see if i can find out so we know the possible crosses and can use process of elimination.​

both beautiful boys...i LOVE roosters but am not allowed to have one where I live...

I think the first one has Marans in it like maybe a cross of a RIR roo on a BC Marans hen. The other may be from a white Leghorn hen.

The first roo looks like a RIR and EE cross, no? I might have a RIR/ameraucana cross and I imagine a roo would look a lot like that.

 

[Sonoran Silkies]

I see nothing in either of these photos to indicate EE or EE cross. Note that the birds have single combs; while EEs can, they usually have pea combs, not single..

#1- RIR X LB leghorn.

#2- no clue, I'm guessing RIW X Leghorn of some kind.
