What Breed Is He?

[lauren56]

Hello, so this is one of my favorite rooster. I got him in the spring of this year as a chick from an auction so I have no idea what he could be or what he's mixed with. I'm just curious what you guys think he is! Thanks!

Looks like a faverolle mix to me.

Hi!

Looks like he might have some cream legbar (a breed from leghorns, barred rocks, and aracaunas) in him.. he doesn't look like a purebred so he has something else in him, but I don't know what. Or maybe he has that barring pattern in him because he has barred rock in him with something else.

It's hard to tell, but does he have a beard? Might have ameraucana or easter egger mixed in there if he does.

He does look like he could have a crest on his head also, which cream legbars have. My guess is if you got him at an auction that he has cream legbar in him, possibly mixed with a different dark brown egg laying breed to make olive eggers? So maybe he's an olive egger...

I don't know for sure but he sure is handsome

He looks like a Swedish Flower Hen breed.

After seeing @oldhenlikesdogs post, it is possible he has favorelle in him... no feathered feet but maybe that's mixed in there.

I have no idea, but OMG that comb!

I think dubbing is a cruel practice(cutting the comb back ) but, in this case warranted. It must be very uncomfortable for him to try and see around it. Poor guy. Hard to protect a flock if you can't see in front of you.

Mixed breed, likely with some Easter Egger and Barred Rock ancestry.

SFH and Islandic hens. I think he looks like these.
