What bread is my rooster

[Lenzswim]

We got a rooster a year ago - not sure what bread he is can anyone help me ?

By the single-factor barring (purebred barred males should have two copies of barring and be significantly lighter in color) and sporadic patterning, he's some sort of sexlink, possibly with a Dominique mother (judging by the rosecomb.)

@JedJackson? @Gray Farms ?

I've never heard of the Dominique bread. He is a decently large rooster with a mean streak. Beautiful bird tho

Dominique:

He has a similarly pattern (feathers) as my Salmon Faverolle rol

He's a mixed breed for sure, and I doubt he is a first generation mixed breed. There are probably several different breeds in his ancestry. He has white legs, barring, a massive rose comb, and what looks to be lacing or spangling at his wings. I think there is probably Wyandotte in his mix, probably Dominique, and then there has to be something else that has white skin, so maybe Hamburg or cuckoo Marans. I don't think you will ever know for sure unless you contact the breeder. He's a very attractive mix, whatever it is. But if he is human aggressive you should think long and hard whether you want to keep him, especially if you have children around.

Crossbred for sure. I'm thinking Wyandotte mix.

Think also, if you want to use an aggressive bird in any breeding program.
