Roo? Please help also breed if you know

That's a roo for sure. The grabbing the neck thing, that's him asserting his dominance and trying to mount the ladies. The comb looks like what I've seen on Easter Egg roos. It may have been something pea-combed with yellow legs over a BO. The only thing that comes to mind, pea-combed and yellow skinned, are Buckeyes. I'm sure there are others. I guess an EE could fit that description too.
 
Yes he is the only one with a rose type comb (?) (warty like) All the ladies have staight type combs with ridges at top. My daughter was outside the other day trying to "teach" him how to crow...it didnt work on him. But the next thing we hear down yonder is one of the meat birds (8 weeks) start crowing. My neighbors are going to love us for the next few weeks. I told her to leave him be, that soon enough he would start and then will have to hope he is not obnoxious.
I'm excited, and cant wait to see how he continues to mature and gain style. I grew up in the city, and now in the country and would have never guessed that one day chickens would bring me such excitment!! Cant wait till they start paying some rent with their eggs!!

Oh yea, in the bunch he came with there were 2 buffs, 1 partridge rock, and one speckled rock (?) but she had given away a bunch of others before we got there. It was there first time with chickens and they said they didnt realize what they were getting in.
