What breed is my rooster?

[pachanga0101]

This rooster was dumped nearby and I have taken him in. What breed is he? That way I can find appropriate girlfriends for him.
And yes, our area has a big problem with people dumping mainly roosters, but sometimes hens as well by the side of the road in unpopulated areas of the county. And please pay no attention to his possum friend, he had been caught in a trap the night before and was having trouble deciding whether to go back to the woods. He finally did.

Adorable Easter Egger rooster. He is a mutt like my EE rooster (in my profile picture).

Thank you. I thought he looked pretty young. It took about 5 days to catch him. I even drug my husband out at 10pm at night to try to get him but he was roosting about 6 feet up in a tree behind a mass of brambles. I have been going twice a day to check him and feed him. Found that he wasn’t a fan of crumbles but would do just about anything for cracked corn. I was finally able to lure him in the crate with corn. And he absolutely knows what a net is! He is a smart guy.

My neighbor has a rooster very much like him.
Will a stray rooster integrate into a flock?

Fortunately, my chickens have been in foster care while I am renovating my farm so he doesn’t have to integrate much. I will just give him his own for now
