McMurry BO roo? Is he too red?

[FuzzyButtsFarm]

I got a 9 mo. BO roo from a lady that said she came from Mc Murry. He seems to have alot of red in him. His feet are white/pink. I know the experts here can tell me if there is anything else in him.

For some reason, the picture of his tail feathers look dark, they are not. Wish I had a better camera.
This is his first day out of isolation and he's luvin it.

Well first, since he is indeed from a hatchery, it doesn't really matter if he's "too red" - Nearly all hatchery birds, especially popular/common breeds like Orpingtons, are very poor in type.

But yes, he's likely a cross. Buff colored breeds should be mono-toned buff coloration, having absolutely no black or grey in the tail, no red on the shoulders, etc.

His white legs are a dominant trait, too, so there's no telling if he's a mutt or "purebred" as a hatchery would call it.

I uploaded a pic from McMurry's web site that someone had sent in. Looks like he's gotta a lot of red too.

The hen looks like she's got more white than mine.
