Need Confirmation and Breed help.

[cogburn]

I am pretty sure Tink is a roo, but would like others opinions. And if anybody has an idea of what breed he is, that would be very helpful. He came from Ideal in a Bantam assortment. Of course he is the kids favorite and we can not keep roos.

This was taken several weeks ago.

These last two were taken yesterday.

Thanks,
Chad

Looking at his comb I would guess rooster, but dont know the breed.
Hopefully for your sake someone will say I am wrong though!

Well looking at it now, the tail doesnt look that roosterish...

It is hard to tell in the picture, but the comb is bright red.

You might check Dallas' city ordinances. If you are truly in the city limits, I dont think they have a restriction on roosters, unless it becomes a noise nuisance and neighbors complain. I haven't read them in a while, but I know I can have them in Fort Worth.

Sorry, but he looks like a rooster to me. Since he's 12 weeks, I would just about bet that's what he is.

As far as breed, he may be a dutch bantam. Looks like a Mille Fleur cross to me (the speckling on the back is what's making me think so). Or just a black tailed buff Dutch. He could be a black tailed buff/red old english.

If you must find him a home, there are plenty of people on this site that live around your area that may be able to give him a good place to live. Just post an ad. But if I were you, I would try my best to keep him - he is gorgeous. I would definately check the laws and see if you really can't keep roosters. I wouldn't pay heed to neighbors squawking, if you know what I mean. ^_^

We have a no rooster rule at the house.
Not sure about the city ordinances.

I will post an ad later to try to rehome him.

Thanks for all the help.
