What breed is this bird?

[Ozchicken]

Can anyone tell me about this breed and colour? Thanks for any information.

Looks to be an Old English Game Bantam rooster but I'm not sure on the color.

old english game, colour looks like a silver/ gold split duckwing....

I'm going to go against conventional wisdom and say he's a young Golden Pheonix bantam...

looks just like the guy on the right

but his chest and blue shanks suggests a mix of gold campine?

Either way, he's a pretty boy!

He is a Pheonix Cross and the looks to be a Golden Duckwing/ Silver birchen cross...

I say Pheonix Cross because Pheonix should have White Ear Lobs and Blue legs.

(not a Old English Game Bantam, they would have a little smaller body, shorter tale and white legs)

Right about the ear lobe & leg colour issues. Certainly a cross of some sort but with all the elements he's showing I'd say what cross is anybody's guess.

Thank you for the feedback everyone. He is a bird that was dumped in a local park and taken to the veterinary clinic by wildlife officers. Now I can say a little bit about him when I send an email to the poultry club to see if anyone can provide a home for him.

Thanks again!

He's a cool looking bird whatever he is. Crosses are just a good as the others.
