What breed is my rooster?

[Ellington64]

I have four different breed hens that I was just using for egg supply but my grandson wanted babies so we got this rooster not really knowing what we were doing (for his entertainment). We have two babies now that hatched today so I can’t wait for him to get home from school. We still have four more eggs that my hen is setting on.

Crele Orpington?

He is a Bielefelder.
Rhodebars have very dark red on their wings and it is not barred.

I did a little research after the first suggestion was Bielefelder and I’m thinking that’s what he is too. He wasn’t cheap but I think he was worth it.

Bielefelders have yellow legs. He may be a project Crele Orpington or just a random crossbred. Welcome to BYC. Whatever he is, he is a beauty.

Yes. I think he was to. He’s an excellent quality rooster.

View attachment 1303885 I’m very new to raising backyard chickens. I got this rooster because he was so pretty and friendly. Just not sure what kind he is.

He looks exactly like my rooster who I used to have, Ray.
He was a Basque Marraduna, he was quite aggressive and attacked me all the time when I was little. I was terrified of him and cried everytime I went into the run to play with the hens.
*Cough cough until my sister showed me that I could kick the crap out of him cough cough*

I mean what

He is beautiful though, if hes not aggressive like my boy Ray, you will get some very pretty offspring from him.

Welcome to BYC and good luck with your flock!

He is not fluffy enough to be a Crele Orpington although the featheration is very similar.

Thanks. I have a Cochin that got broody so we had six eggs under her. Two have hatched today and the chicks are both black. My Cochin is what I call speckled. Lol. Very pretty. Only one egg was hers though the others are from my other hens. All different breeds.
