What Breed Is My Rooster?

[Lyndseygrey]

I've had Chick Norris for 3 years in May and I still don't know what breed he is. I only have one chicken and he's more of a pet than anything else. Any info would be great!

It doesn't look like a BA or a JJ. I wonder.................

I live in Lakeland, Fl and there was a show and tell at my little brother's school. They hatched the chickens in his class and then he asked for one and that's how I got him. I never met the people he belonged to so I'm not sure.

then im pretty sure its a barn yard mix. his yellow legs and floppy comb are like a leghorn. And the body is close to a heavy breed such as a maran or australorp

You're welcomed. it's a really nice looking rooster he might make a good producer of layers. This year i'm breeding a flock for best layers and I'll be using a lot of leghorn genetics. Too bad i only have the white variety to use. whites ones produce boring white chicks. wish i had this one
