New Rooster Unknown Breed

[Cohl0406]

Just got this guy today and wow hes Wiley haha. No spurs yet but the person I got him from said around 6 months. I can see the little nubs starting where the spurs will come out. Is he just a mix or an actual breed? I dont care just curious. I have 10 hens. 5 Easter Eggers, 4 buff orpingtons and a brown leghorn.

I hear cornish and their mixes dont live long. This guy is very heavy when I pick him up, if I compare him to the hens at least, but hes super Wiley and runs faster than any chicken I've ever seen. Should I be worried if he's a cornish cross?

I got this picture of him today. Its better.

If he has a pea comb, then I agree with GrayFarms.

Is this a pea comb? Sorry never paid attention to what certain combs are called ha

He came from a group of RIR hens and the woman I got him from said she was told he was RIR but didnt think that was accurate.

I agree with hatchery quality or high percentage White Laced Red Cornish. His longevity should be fine. Cornish X meat birds are the birds with shortened longevity.
