This good boy needs to find a new home, hopefully with the of space to live out his days. He’s great with his 12 girls (brooder mates) and would make a great free range king, but we too live close to others and have too many predators for free range. Sold to us as a Delaware, clearly not. 14 weeks old and has an adorable crow. Been good to the girls so far (he gets them all to roost every night!) and nothing agressive towards me or my kids. Ive been treating him as a rooster since 4 weeks and I really see a good boy in him. Wish I could keep him and see him fully mature!

I would keep him but I don't know if he is a mixed breed like all the hatchery breeds like calico princess and breeds like that and I don't want a hatchery mix rooster

Hmm. I can call Wilco and see if they will tell me where they got him from. I have my date of purchase so I should hope they could track it backwards to the hatchery and I can ask. He came from a bin that was with barred rocks (yellow chicks were Delaware and black and white were the BR) so the mistake was probably at the hatchery. to me he looks like a whoopsie and not an intentional cross breed/hybrid. Personally if I was intent on controlling the bloodlines for breeding I would say he's too much of a gamble. But as an individual roo who would be protecting the girls and such he's great :)

My current guess after my call with Wilco and tons of googling every chick on the Ideal hatchery website that starts out yellow (LOL) is that he is an Amberlink/Amber White and will still be coming into more coloring brown. But that is a hatchery cross and not what you're looking for.

Best of luck!
