Roo at our shelter

[fourfeathers]

What kind of rooster is this? He is currently at our animal shelter after being found as a stray. Young, probably a last fall chick, not very big...maybe the size of a sex-link or leghorn at that age. Small pointy spurs. Handsome coloring, easily handled. Am I totally wrong in thinking maybe a phoenix mix or leghorn mix? He is a Golden something.
He is in Murray, KY and needs a home. Hope I uploaded the picture right!

I may be wrong but it looks like an American Game Bantam.

Looks gamey to me. Some kind of jungle fowl or game fowl is my guess, but I am no expert.

Too big for a bantam. I wondered about the jungle fowl too, but thought that was pretty rare. Any other guesses? I need to post him on petfinder.com before I go to work to get him adopted.

That is what I thought... a young one with yet-to-develop tail feathers.
