I was not a barred Rock for sure but what am i. i am larger than all the other chickens. My yellow feet also are showing some red in their coloring on bottom side

Mom said I couldn't follow her into the house.

These furry chickens run around when mom comes outside but i like to follow mom too.

I believe he's a Welsummer rooster. Very handsome fellow.

Where did you get him?

A welsummer would have the gold duckwing coloration. This rooster isn’t duckwing since he doesn’t have a triangle of gold on his wing. For example:

Well, he could always be a mixed breed, but he looks close enough for a hatchery Welsummer to me. There aren't many larger breeds with that coloring that are readily available.

Even a hatchery welsummer would be gold duckwing.

he came from rural king and was not the breed he was supposed to be. his wings are green tipped. welsummer is closer than other things i have seen. he is quite large and bottom side of his feet have some red tinge. he won't let me pet him but he will follow all around.

welsummer is the only one that seems close. not all pic i have seen have the gold tip wing. RK was also selling EE as americauna so could be from a not so great hatchery.
