I have a rooster who is a cross but I cant figure out what he may be crossed with. His mom was sold to me as a brown leghorn. I dont think she was a brown leghorn. 1. She laid brown eggs (the other one laid white eggs) and 2. She had a poof on top of her head. I think she was a crested cream legbar that laid brown eggs.

My flock was decimated by dogs and she showed back up after I thought all were lost. I saved just one of her eggs and this rooster is the last of my original flock stock. I know it was her egg since I only had sebrights left as well.

Possible Rooster fathers:
Golden buff
White Ameracuna
White Silkie broiler
Red Sex link (Who i think is the dad)
partridge silkie
Millie fleur

The red sex link is in the corner, the americuna is near him.

180+ chickens, to this in 4 weeks. Domestic dogs, they even attacked my goat. No, the shed normally isnt blown out on the side they did that.

I agree, the Red Sexlink (or possibly the Golden Buff) was the father. Your little guy has a single comb, and since those were the only 2 breeds with single comb (except the mille fleur, but since your cockerel is full-size with no feathers on his legs, I would rule the mille fleur out), he is almost certainly descended from either the sexlink or the buff.
I hope this makes sense, and I can explain further if you want :)
