What breed is my rooster??

[maricela8492]

Someone gave me a 5 month rooster. He just started crowing. Does anyone know the breed. My Boyfriend and I think there is a chance he's a road island red and mixed with a game bird breed.

Looks like a Rhode Island Red to me. There are a couple breeds that look exactly the same, the 'Buckeye' for instance. But from your pic, I'd say RIR.

He looks like he has a pea comb if I'm correct?

If he has a pea comb he's either a mix or my guess would be a Buckeye.

I don't know of another 'red' breed that has a pea comb.

Can anyone else think of one?

Can you get a picture of him in the sun? That might help.

I've seen Red Sex Links come out that dark, but gain, they're RIR hybrid.
