Looks very similar to a Nankin cockerel.

Now that you mention it, he does kinda look like one, when compared to this pic from the Feathersite:

Thanks for the suggestions so far! I'm happy whatever he may be. I know he's not a mix, because the lady who bred him kept the breeds separate from each other. (excluding the silkies and polish birds, which she found to be a great cross).

He started crowing when he was still peeping, and now he's four and a half months, and very loud.

Thanks again, and if anyone has any other suggestions, let me know!

Is there any place the sells Nankins? He's tiny, and doesn't have any hen that he can properly look after. I don't want the other roosters clobbering him either. I'd like to get him some Nankin hens, though I understand the breed is rare?

Could you go back to the farm that he originally came from? Perhaps she has some pullets for sale.

Maybe a sermaX?

Game bantam crossed with serama I think.

Hes a single comb nankin. I currently have three (3 week old) SC nankins. I know it will be a ways off, but I would be happy to sell you some eggs once they start laying. There is a nankin club out there if you search for it. Or if you PM me I'll send you the link.
