All of these but the white bantam in the back right corner are his chicks

He could be a production blue (also known as a Rhode Island blue).

Here’s a thread on them- https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/rhode-island-blue.1376822/. They’re hybrids, so there’s going to be some variation. On page 6 there’s a rooster with a similar color as your’s, except he’s more silver.

Not that I trust google over any of you so please don’t think that but before I found this site I found this picture on there.View attachment 2503820

They are similar, but there are a couple differences. Notice how your rooster has yellow feet, not pink/white. He also has a lot more leakage on his chest than the marans. Though that marans pictured is actually not a very good example of the blue birchen coloration, since he has too much gold/red.
This is how the coloring of that variety is supposed to look.

I would say mixed breed. He’s pretty!

Thank you he is pretty. I bought him at tractor supply last March. He was in an unlabeled container.

Do you know which hatchery your TSC gets chicks from? If it's Hoover's, they do an Olive Egger that's a Welsummer/Cream Legbar cross that could give you single comb and yellow legs.

Hoover's also has different rando hybrids that can be a wildcard as far as appearance, like the "Rainbow." https://hoovershatchery.com/rainbow.html

Both of those are the wrong color. The rooster in question is blue with silver and gold leakage. Welsummers and cream legbars are both based on the duckwing pattern, and neither breeds have the genetics for blue. Rainbows, while more of a possibility, still don’t really match his coloring. Most appear to be silver or gold columbian with barring, both common patterns in meat hybrids. He’s neither columbian or barred.

Could it be a hatchery-quality Blue Isbar/Silverudd? What do the male Sapphire Gems look like? I know they are a hybrid. The females don't seem to show leakage, but could the males?

Isbars usually have slate legs with pink feet, but I have seen them with green legs. I believe sapphire gems are sex-linked, so the roosters are barred.
