Hi and welcome - without photos it is really not possible to ID your rooster based on that description as it *could* be a few different breeds. Hopefully you'll get the photos soon so we can see the bird and help you with your question.

From that photo, I would say Brown Leghorn

I agree.

Brown Leghorn. If you breed him to dual purpose hens, the offspring will have increased egg production (as a rule).

Dual purpose breeds= breeds used for both eggs and meat. Orpingtons, Rocks, Buckeyes, Domaniques and Welsummers are a few, but there are many more. You can look at the breed list on www.feathersite.com to see which breeds are considered egg producers, meat producers, dual purpose and ornamental
