Welcome to BYC.

Yes, we'll need a photo to see what your rooster might be.

My guess without a photo is that he may be a male Black Sex Link. Those tend to have more white on them.

Did you get this rooster from a different source than the others?

Here's another pic of the two boys side by side as you can see one is very lighter

The lighter one is most likely a Black Sexlink cockerel.

So he's no good for breeding bummer he's the biggest and most developed chick but I do want to breed a few more barred rocks from them if they are good .

It's it lighting of the photo or are the lighter bird's eyes also a different color than the darker bird? Same for leg color.... is it photo lighting/ whay cookout are its legs and feet bottoms?

 

[jay873]

Eyes are different I just noticed that but legs are the same
