What Breed is Rooster..

[pcdawn2000]

wonder if you all could help me out and tell me what breed this roo is. He is 16 weeks old. hatched him and 5 others with a broody hen. Guy I got eggs from said 3 were RIR and 3 were Barred Rock. He ALMOST looks like a cross bettween RIR and BR...any thhoughts?

He's a mixed breed. One parent was probably a barred Rock, the other could have been a Red. If that's the case, he'll get more red leakage as he ages.

yes I have seen some red leakage in him, he also has the green in his tail, there is another one like him from the same hatch and he is prettier with the green tail feathers and more red leakage!
I just wasnt sure if he might be other breed other than Barred Rock...

THANKS!
