Mixed breed?

[Sookie2020]

It’s normal. If you get a chicken from a hatchery, feedstore, or from someone who bred them from hatchery parents, that chicken is most likely hatchery quality. It only means that you shouldn’t sell him or his offspring as show quality.

Ok. I don't plan on selling him. If I sell offspring, it'll only be because I don't want a yard full of cocktails! I have a hard tim getting rid of any of my "babies".

We also have sebrights, and they are wonderful!

Looks like an average quality sebright to me. Most notable is the single comb (standard calls for rose comb) and his lacing is not as uniform as it ought to be (although that "might" improve in the next molt).

He looks to have that typical sebright sass though - his stature and wing carriage is typical sebright

My sebrights are always very vocal little roosters - what they lack in size they make up for in volume and "spunk"

Weezer is very vocal! He crows everytime he sees me. It's hilarious!

I've had pet roosters that crow in a way that I'd interpret as "Mom is here - come here ladies - treats are imminent!". It's more a celebratory crow - and quite likely that is what your fellow is doing.

But crowing can also be a sign of rooster dominance being asserted (or trying to be asserted). I've currently got a sebright rooster that is the lowest pecking order and the only thing he can do to assert himself is to crow loudly, and constantly. Altogether he is an obnoxious little SOB to be honest - who has only been kept around so far because I needed a Plan B rooster in case his brother didn't do the job required. He's fast and nimble, so he knows exactly how close he can get and still get away (from both me AND the other rooster). He's tried a couple of times now to attack me as I walk past - which earned him a swift swat with my foot. Unfortunately for him - I have a few nice project babies coming along so he will be getting moved along.

If he's lucky, someone might want to take him as a trio with some young pullets, but he better improve his manners first because vexatious roosters don't always find homes.

Weezer is 1 of 3 roosters I have. My old man is THE rooster for the coop. So far, I've had no issues with 3 roosters in such close proximity. But, I know I will be separating them soon. The 3rd is a young cockrell that isn't even crowing yet. He, and his pullet gf, are about to go to a new home, though.
