Possible Rhode island red rooster?

[Coileach]

Hi all,

Rooster is about 15 weeks old but I'm not sure what breed he is. My best guess is a Rhode Island Red (based on google image search) but the grey tail may mean he's a mixed breed.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Not RIR.
A cross of some kind.
Handsome boy.
As a wild guess I'd wonder if he had any Legbar in him. I don't know if I'm imagining a tiny crest on him or what. The comb is quite Legbar, and he has a bit of barring. And his earlobes are a pale whitish. But I really don't know with this one.

Where did you get him?

Thanks for the reply! At least I can cross rhode island off the list

He was part of a batch of eggs I hatched in an incubator so not sure where exactly he came from. Eggs were given by neighbours. He does indeed have a tiny crest!

What colour was the egg, out of interest?
Can you ask the neighbours?

@Overo Mare, stop eating peaches.
@TheOddOneOut, get yourself here.
@Rhodebar Lover any ideas?

Hatched about 40 mixed eggs from brown, green and white so I honestly couldn't say unfortunately. He's the only one that colour from the ones I have too so I couldn't guess where he might have come from.

CLB lay blue, so it's possible he was from a green egg. Olive Eggers have CLB in them.
What did the other birds look like?
Any idea what breeds the neighbours have?

The other birds are very mixed but I've included pictures of a few if that helps! Very new to poultry so not sure of any of the breeds but I think the majority are roosters (unfortunately!)

Appreciate all of your responses so far. Google really isn't helping me

I see another crested young man.
I do think that your cockerel has Olive Egger or Cream Legbar in him.

I'm sorry it's just me
Overo, you're letting the side down.
@NatJ, you're good at this. Any ideas?

Those white/grey cockerels are stunning.

Your roosters are beautiful!

Not at all, I'm just glad someone is replying I was gutted they were roosters! I love their colours and the top crested one is so friendly. They are doing well for their age though, they have a good space outside to run around which helps I think. Still wish they were hens

Your roosters are beautiful!

Thank you very much
