Mixed Breed Roo?

I don't know what breed this guy is. He's tall & beautiful but has no butt, no beard....but hairy legs and lush feathering. Tossed in the box when I bought the last 7 chicks the feed store had that day.

Mixed breed for sure. I feel like there's Gold Laced Wyandotte in him but not sure what else.

Nice guess!
Guessing breed and gender takes practice Keep practicing!

I will have to look up "Golden Laced Cochin", I am not familiar with that breed.
So far he's a good guy, he's learning to take care of his flock and has just started calling them to food instead of running in and sneaking off with it. He's fairly people shy which I prefer in a roo. When I do handle him he quiets down quickly and doesn't fight. He does roost on the rooftop of the coop, by himself which is a bit odd. Everyone else goes inside.

Yep, looked it up and got this internet pic, looks like him right down to the hairy thighs!
BTW, his name is Paul.

Paul is a handsome golden laced Cochin.
