What breed is my rooster?

Ok so I

just got this rooster for free and I have no idea what breed he is I like him though. He is super nice!

To me, it looks like a Black Sumatra

Looks like an australorp. Is he solid black, or kind of blue-grey? It's hard to tell from the pic. He's sure a nice big boy!

 

[Prestonsloan12]

He is black! His tail feathers and wing feathers are kindof shiny and green and blueish... thats the best way I can explain it!

Looks like a black Australorp to me, Sumatra's have a small pea comb and long tail feathers and are a more slender birds. This fellow is a good size, maybe even an Orpington.

Very handsome fellow!!

He's an Australorp. Can't imagine how anyone who's ever seen a Sumatra could think he's a Sumatra. Other than being black he shares no characteristics with Sumatras.

yes he look like an Australorp or maybe since he is so big looking maybe he is a black jersey giant but look at the bottom of his feet that will tell you for sure

Yellow underfoot = Jersey Giant
White Underfoot = Black Australorp

That is a Black Orpington I'm sure!
