what breed is he...

[Doodle_Doo]

ive had this boy since he was born he was given to me from my neighbor..
she told me he was a welsummer but others that have welsummers tell he is not..
they just tell me he is american gamefowl..
i have no idea and also his hens dont really help because they are a light creamy brown color which dont
come in either of those breeds at least the ones ive seen..
any help very much apreciated..

his hens

Yep, American Gamefowl. Looks like Roundhead blood, but could be Sweaters and such too.. Hard to say without knowing the breeder.

ETA: I notice you have the hens in with a... Fayoumi? Do you have the cock in the same pen as well?

hes a silver phoenix but yes the male of the brown hens are in the same pen..the phoenix was the male that helped rease him when they were little..he thinks hes the dad of the three..
but both males were handled alot and ive done many excersises so they dont fight and just get alot well..
cause either way i know the golden male is still a fighter in blood and didnt want trouble with the neighbor if they ever got at it over females..
but the older male the phoenix always leaves the pen to roam the yard so the golden male is left with his females and the silver phoenx hens.. the last picture of the male shows hes in the pen about two feet from where i took the pic

they are friendly towards each other..

Then I think it is safe to say he is probably a American game crossed with something, as a full grown adult rooster a pure game would not be able to coexist with other males, he would chase the phoenix down until one or both of them were out of breath or he trapped him and killed him. Even some of my hens are like this in a enclosure, but the hens do OK while on free range with each other. A pretty bird though.

if he is only 7 months you need to start watching him if he has to much game blood in him then it wont be long before they start fighting , looks like a sweater to me , but really if you like you other rooster to much i wouldent leave them together for not to much longer

wow about how old do they have to be until they show signs of agression?
he might be a big problem because both his females are very very agressive towars each other
when they lay their eggs and towards the phoenix hens when its feeding time..
can this be a sign that the biggest problem is soon to come?

Looks like a fighter. He'll kill your phoenix.
