Rooster ID?

[ms_aeb]

Any idea what breed this rooster is? He’s very active, struts a lot, very protective of his hens, and is such a beauty!

He’s with cinnamon queen hens and I’ve hatched out 20 chicks this week from them. Some looked to be sex linked - darker orange males, light orange/yellow females.

Thank you for your ideas on breed ID!

He looks like a Black Sex Link rooster. His chicks are not sex linked, as you can't get any kind of sex links with a red hen and a barred rooster.

Looks like a possible BSL. Your chicks won't be sex-linked using Sex Links.

Beautiful roo!

Sounds like the chicks will be a mix of colors/characteristics BUT will be egg-cellent layers!

I was hoping for new laying hens with this hatch since his body shape resembles a layer breed and the cinnamon queen are laying machines.

Pretty! I’m digging the fluffy long neck feathers and variations on body/tail
