This is Clovis. He's ten months old, and gorgeous.

He's a mongrel offspring of two of our pure-bred (large-hatchery quality) chickens. A hen went broody and produced a few chicks, including Clovis -- who was definitely her own offspring. Any experts out there feel like hazarding a guess as to his parentage?

(I know the answer, but posted this because I think it's super-interesting how different characteristics emerge when you mix different breeds.)

I will give hints if necessary, and an answer in a couple days.

RIR and White Leghorn. Not sure who is mom and who is dad, though.

Omg!!! How Old Is He? How Long Did It Take For Him To Get That Big? Please Take A Picture Of Him Next To A Hen So I Can See How Big He Is Compared To A Hen. One Of My Roosters Looks Just Like Him And I Have Been Looking All Over For What He Is!!!!

WOW!!!

You have a Estonian Platinum-Tailed Southern Apricot Schitzel!!!!!!!!!

He is beautiful

 

[roocrazy]

white leghorn and redsexlink

 

[farmerChef]

Buff Orp and Exc. Leghorn.
I highly doubt a white leghorn could produce that color offspring. Almost all white leghorns have dominate white gene, unless you got lucky......

So... what is he???
