what breed?????? and a very long and boring story

[Luke0987654321]

okay, on saturday i went to the local market to get a new hen, so i bought "her" whe we got home i let her in the pen and low and behold, SHE CROWS!!!

then she started chasing my other roo that is double her size, and crows again! so i grab her, look at her behind and discover that her vent is way to small to be laying eggs,
no hackle feathers, non of the lovely dangly tail feathers, and then i saw a horrible scabb on his leg (i say his because it is quite obviouse that it is a he) so i take him
upstairs and clean that out, it was horrible there were maggots!!!

when i had finished disinfecting that and covered it with a plaster i put him back in the coop. then he starts mating all of my bantam hens and wont stop crowing. any way here are some pics, he looks like a polish mix???? he has blue legs.

and here are some pics of the rest of the flock

First of all- you HAVE to quarantine! You don't know what kind of bacteria that bird could be hiding, and it could decimate your entire flock.
Secondly- always try to introduce 2 birds at a time. It's less stressful for them. They WILL get picked on during the re-establishment of the pecking order.
Yes- you have yourself a roo. Some kind of cross. He's pretty- but I'd keep him separated for a few weeks. Hopefully your birds won't get sick.

its about the size of the black hen up in the corner that in one of the pics, he is bantam sized, how big is a leghorn?

I'd say Polish cross, but wow! That little guy doesn't even look like a roo! I can slightly see hackle feathers, but sheesh! (btw love the other rooster in one of those photos)
