Mystery Rooster - Guesses Welcome!

[FoodFreedomNow]

No clue on guesses but your boy is stunning. I have a Rooster similarly colored named Toothless. He came from hatching eggs from a friend with a backyard mix. Easter egger was one of the varieties i know she had. Here is my boy Toothless.

I've been considering the American Game possibility with my roo, and wondered if there might be some gamefowl (Silver Duckwing OEGB?) in Toothless's bloodline? His plumage is very striking and unusual, and I recently saw this drawing that made me think of your roo.

I really dont know what all is mixed in with toothless's bloodlines. The friend I got the eggs off of has a established flock of "big stock" chickens as she called them. She has raised them for years and sells fresh eggs. They have all interbred but about once a year she buy's a few chicks from either our Rural King or Tractor Supply to add fresh blood. Gamefowl blood could be a possibility though as her next door neighbor and her son raise game birds. I just know when our lone hen went to setting this spring i called her and had a dozen eggs delivered that she had collected that morning. 5 hatched, 3 survived. Toothless, another Rooster i recently rehomed Tuff who looked full game, and a hen. At hatching toothless was double the size of the other chicks and was almost white so his color is shocking, the other chicks were chipmunk colored. He is only 9 months old and huge, but very friendly. Here is a pic of his hatchmate Henrietta, who is also a good sized hen.

His body looks like my EE. The face and comb are really different though.

Henrietta is lovely! That's the fun part about mixes, right - who really knows what's in there? And you get such cool-looking birds!
