Hiya could you please help me identify my cockeral... im thinking maybe Orpington x Australorp... Your help would be appreciated.

No, Orpington x Australorps have a lot more golden coloring on them.

This bird here is a cross of a red, duckwing, or wheaten and black.

Thanks for the replies, I would love to know what he is, he is only young, about 4-5 months old, lovely natured cockeral

possibly mixed with a dark cornish. i have a dark cornish hen and an australorp hen and if they were mixed they would look basically like that

He is missing the pea comb to be such, and my that would be a sad looking Cornish to pass on offspring that look this "production" in type.

I think he is lovely, his feathers have a lovely shade of green, he looks stunning, and better than any production chicken in my eyes.

LOL de-railing, I know, but he is cute! My birds don't have tails as such...and they're not shiny, either.

That's why I bought myself an "illegal" australorp
