I need help determining the breed of this rooster!

[NebsFarm]

I bought a mixed bunch of chicks from McMurray Hatchery. They are now grown and one has now shown itself to be a rooster who is so beautiful. I was hoping to get all hens but I want to keep this guy around. He is just 20 weeks old so still no tail feathers. If you could help me identify him I would really appreciate it. He is feather footed as well. I don't think the pictures show that very well.

Patridge cochin and he won't be getting a big 'rooster' tail.

so does this breed crow very much or are they fairly quiet? He just barely started to crow and only 2 out of the last 5 days. He seems to be pretty quiet so far which is great. And thank you everyone for your info, I really appreciate it. McMurray was great to work with for the order of chicks but they don't tell you at all what the bird breeds are and I don't know half of them.

i dont know of any hatchery that will send a list of breeds that they send you due to having so many orders to fill by a certain time.

he will start to crow just like any other cockerel/rooster which is when ever he chooses to crow day or night

I didn't mind not knowing it's been fun watching them grow into so many different birds, I just don/t know enough about the different breeds to know what each of them are now that they are almost fully grown. But it is great to have forums like this to figure it out. I loved working with McMurray and I will order from them again in the future. I recommend them to anyone who wants great customer service.
