New rooster

This is Fred. Guy said he was about 3-4 months old and a meat bird bread. He had no additional info. He is pretty nice so far. Not aggressive at all. Any ideas on bread?

Looks like a mixed breed to me.

Yeah, mixed breed cockerel. He’s not very big for a meat bird though. I’d guess he’s part Colombian Wyandotte, mixed with something with a single comb.

I can believe he was bred for meat due to the very broad breast. He may have some Brahma in his background but not a purebred. Very pretty though.

He has a pea comb, which is why it doesn’t look quite right for a rose or single comb

Ok. I am not surprised he is a mix. He also does not seam to know chicken food. Lol. I think he was only given scraps. He also likes my ducks more than the chickens. He will learn. . Thanks for the replies.

Wouldn’t even a part Brahma have feathered legs though?

Hatchery Brahmas can have sparsely feathered legs, so it is completely possible for their offspring to be clean-legged.

Ah, ok. Good to know!
