New member, New rooster...What is he?

[BluemuleRay]

Hello all new to BYC, some what new to chickens 3-4 yrs.

We picked up a rooster from the feed store in hopes to add some new chickens to the flock. we are wondering what he might be. Ive searched quite a bit but he's got several confusing qualities.

My initial thoughts were Welsummer, but he has a three part comb and white shading on earlobes.


any thoughts?

My first thought was brown Leghorn but really not sure.....

p.s. but he sure is pretty.

Was his tail cut to look like that?

Thats how I picked him up he was in a 2x2 cage for a while. Im hoping after a molt it will all go back to normal. also forgot to mention he is very large.

His comb is really interesting, it looks kind of like a double single comb

He's an EE with a Sporty Build, & tight feathering.

Important question. Did you get him as a chick, or was someone giving him away at the store?
