Stray cockerel is locked in a stall......now what?

If the neighbor I left a note for doesn't call, there's only one other farm that I know of with chickens..... I find it difficult to believe he'd have traveled that far from home, but I'll check there anyway if I have to.........

He is beautiful! If Rooster Boy doesn't mind the competition, and I don't find reason to believe he's carrying some disease that my kids aren't already exposed to...... well..... he could produce some very interesting kids with the Delaware and BR hens.

He isn't a Cuckoo Marans unless he's a really lousy representative -- his red is too dark and almost completely covers his body. As opposed to this guy (from My Pet Chicken):

He does seem to resemble the coloring of Vcomb's Cochin that he describes as "...a male who's close" to crele (borrowed from https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=87695):

Whatever he is, we sure can see he is one gorgeous guy! Wow!
