They can Chris, especially hatchery birds. Throw back from breeding in the dutch and rosecombs when they brought them to America.

I agree he does appear to be a ginger red. You can find a representation on Cackle's Hatchery's site.

He looks buff, not red to me.

Thats what I'm thinking. I thought the ginger reds were really dark red.

And thank you Vcomb for clarifing that!

Well, lets say you can't pin down his breed exactly. If it was your rooster, what would you breed him with to make really pretty babies?

Maybe it's just me, but the body type doesn't really seem right for either oeg or nankin--seems too round, not sleek.

Doesnt look too much like a nankin. i Vomb is right on this one

I had decided he was a black tailed buff but now I'm not sure. He is really round????
