He looks like a Barred Rock to me.

 

[lisathenorth]

No really? Why are all the eggs I am getting from his girl friends are dark brown?

 

[Cindiloohoo]

He's a Barred Rock roo.

 

[lisathenorth]

Wow, How do you know for sure?

Well, he has no impact on his girlfriend's egg color. Are they siblings? What color are her legs? Where did your birds come from?

Leg color and coloring, marans have a less clear barring.

No his girl friends are not kin folk...

One pullet is a Salmon Maran and the other is a cuckoo maran or dominque. Wow that is too weird. All this time I thought I had a Cuckoo Maran Roo...

 

[NonnasBabies]

I agree with everyone else! Barred Rock! Nice looking too!!

Yeah A Barred Rock. The breed of roo you have with your hens has no effect on the color of eggs that the hens will lay. That depends on the hens parents, not her man. lol
