Polish mix?

[britesidefarm]

I have a rooster that I’ve had for at least 5 years, but never even thought of his breed. I know he is half Polish because of his crest and white legs, but I’m confused on what other breeds he might have in him that could bring out the gene to have white legs. If you have any idea on anything, please help!

Why are you saying polish? I don't see anything about him that looks polish.

He has more points in his comb, which indicates polish because of their comb type, and he has a crest. The white legs he has are also a gene in Polish that can become dominant while breeding crosses.

I think hes a buff orpington/white leghorn mix

Pretty sure all Polish have slate legs. I also don't see any Polish.

Can we get a profile shot? That may help us see what you're talking about.

Yes, polish have grey (blue, slate) legs and I've never heard that if a chicken has more points on their comb, they're part polish, it doesn't sound accurate.

can you post a close up of his head side on and front on?

This what you mean?

 

[britesidefarm]

He has a crest, and all his offspring 50% of the time have one

The reason I was sure he was part Polish was from a past thread when somebody said this:
