Want to find out the breed of this rooster

[850Quailman]

Got this rooster free a couple of months back he looked kind of rough but I started feeding him MannaPro Gamebird/Showbird food with 24% protein. He now looks and acts much better just wanted to get an idea of what specific breed he is if possible to get him a hen. Thanks in advance!

Looks like a mixed breed to me, probably with some sort of game bird.

Agreed

Ok thanks any suggestion as to what kind of hen I should get for him? He's a really pretty bird/alarm clock lol, just want to give him some company and definitely don't want to put him in with my flock of 9 Black Sex link. Just any type of game hen or is there a type he looks more like? Thanks for the reply's just trying to get as much info as possible!

Why not put him with your layers?

I just started raising quail and bought me a few incubators so I'm going to get a black sex link rooster to put in with my layers and don't want to mix them. I would like to get a hen more like him in hopes of getting some good eggs to incubate from both sets since I will have an extra incubator just for chicken eggs. Just trying out a few new things and expanding my bird stock!

So just get a Game hen of some kind or any suggestions on what would go good with him?

You can't make sexlinks by breeding sexlinks together. A black sexlink is a cross of usually Rhode Island Red rooster and Barred Rock hen. Your black sexlink hens are already mixes.

If you got some Barred Rock or Dominique hens, you could make black sexlinks with him.
