Rescued a rooster in a parking lot

[MykaMom]

Ok, I didn't pick him up but a local stray rescue did. He's gorgeous! One person says he is absolutely an EE roo. She has the background to know, said she'd judged poultry in college. I bow to experience!

I thought perhaps he was an AC/mix. Thought I'd share his pic as I've never seen one quite like him before.

Hard to tell without a close up of his comb/face, but it could be a pure black Ameraucana. Or an EE.

Looks like it could be a Purebred Black Ameracauna. Can we get a face picture?

 

[BaaKaaawk]

Love the tail plumage. We need to see his face to give you an official breed determination (comb color, feathers, does he have a beard, etc)

EE cockerel. I see green tootsies.

Looks like an (real) Ameraucana with something gamey or Asian for that tail.
I don't know if Ameraucanas have big tails.

I’m with you on that one. He’s rather wine glass shaped for an Ameracauna or EE so maybe there’s some game in there he could also be a little underweight depending on how long he’s been on his own. Either way he’s magnificent, look at that sheen on those black feathers

I found this one, so I don't think it's mixed.

Doesn’t look pure. Here’s a pure black ameraucana. Get a better pic of him.

I'm looking at the breeders club, he could very well be purebred, but we need a few closer pictures to make an edjumacated guess. he looks too sporty to me but He could be just underweight.
