Uh oh. Do I have a sneaky cockeral?

[KandiandJerry]

No he shouldn't have that if he is pure....I have 3 roo's and 9 hens to compare him to.....but he is still very pretty or should I say handsome....

I forgot to mention his tail looks different, too. It looks nothing like a sebright tail, but is long and curved downward. If he is a mix, I really am curious as to what with.

No. He's a tsc chicken from the bantam bin.

 

[pixiedouglas]

maybe he has some bantam SLW in there?

 

[chickenlovefever]

I think he has to be a mix- True Sebrights don't have hackle and neck feathers like that. Their feathers are tighter.

Guys, remember that this is a bantam bought from TSC. That means he's hatchery quality, so who knows what breeds have been mixed into the bloodline?

Single comb breeds are often bred into rose-combed breeds to boost the fertility, so they won't be a great breed specimen. Not that hatchery birds are anyways.

Thats definitely a roo.
