Rescued stray, but what for art thou??

[chookchookme]

Our neighbourhood acquired a stray and a neighbour of mine who hates noise, and knowing I kept chickens, asked me to save him from her panicked clucking around his garden and so asked me to try and nab her.
After a week and a half I finally decided to get her at night while she was sleepy and roosting. My chance came last night and I found her, by torchlight, in a tree!
Here she is, I'm just wondering on any opinions as to her breed!? Any ideas will be gratefully received.
Thank you!

First of all, it's not a "her". It's a Black Sex Link cockerel, or at least a cross where one parent was barred. But, with those pointy shiny saddle feathers, it's a male, for sure.

Noooo!
Oops. Uh-oh. I already have 4 cockerels haha. Is he quite young do you think?
Thanks so much.

Yes, he's young, guessing around 15 weeks old, give or take a week or so.

I can't tell what color his legs are. Yellow or white?

He looks an awful lot like a cuckoo marans cockerel I had last year.

Looks like a Black Sex-Link cockerel to me as well.

Haha!! Love it!
Oh well, he is a rather sexy beast. I love cockerels and crowing so it's fine with me, my neighbours on the other hand may be a tad upset with my fifth cock! My hybrids can have a strapping young buck with them so it'll be fine. I'm too soft, I wouldn't want him to go now I've rescued him!
Thanks so much for all of your help!

Oops sorry!
His legs are white, and really quite long!

Sounds like Cuckoo Marans to me. If I recall, sex link roos usually have yellow legs.

Looks like a Black Sex-link or a Cuckoo Marans; I'm leaning towards Black Sex-link. Either way, "she" is a cockerel.
