NEED BIRD IDENTIFICATION***New ROO!!! ***Pics****

[Half-a-dozen]

Well, we got our first roo from a friend tonight but we have no idea what he is, sooo looking for helps on identification. Next to the other chickens (hens- RIR's, BR and SL) he is much smaller.
He actually is about the same size as my white leg-horn.
Could he be a baby?? or just a small roo???

I have no other information at this point about age or anything.

(his name is Crackerjack)- The kids named him, they can't wait till the morning to wake up to...Cocka-doodle-doo!!!

(pic of him scarred)


Have no idea what he is???

 

[Scrambled Egg]

He is extremely handsome whatever breed he is, wow, what a great looking chicken!!!!

 

[Bawkadoodledoo]

looks like he's a mix between Leghorn and the true Gallus Gallus... dadadum...

 

[Half-a-dozen]

Yes, if I can agree myself, he is one sharp boy!!!!!!

Is there a such thing as a bantam in this type of breed???

 

[Half-a-dozen]

Any more takers on guesses, of what this guy is???

I don't know what kind he is, but that is a beautiful rooster!

He looks just like the rooster on the front of the Meyer Hatchery catalog from 2007--a Welsummer. Except yours looks much prettier!

Inside the catalog they show a brown leghorn that also looks like a match. However, the catalog says the leghorn roos get to be 6 lbs. and Welsummer's are 7 lbs.

Enjoy him--whatever he is--he's beautiful!

perhaps you'd get more responses in the "what breed or gender" forum
