What breed is this cockerel

[colliedogs]

Hello,

Could anyone please help me identify 'Elvis'? I was told he is a purebreed. Several of his offspring have been exactly like him!

Thanks,

Angie

Honestly, I don't know but I am sure someone here can help. He is very pretty though!
Oh and welcome to BYC!!

Doesn't look pure to me. Could be some Silkie in there due to the crest on his head. Still, he's a handsome guy.

Wouldn't that be a red pyle somethin' or nuther?


ETA... he's purebred alright. Purely chicken! LOL

Really don't know, no doubt some sort of mix though. Love the color!

He's probably a polish cross. It's unlikely he has any silkie in him; he does not have the dark skin, feathered feet, 5 toes, or any other characteristics of a silkie (other than the slight crest). Pretty bird though.

I have Silkie crosses that are yellow skinned and with poufy heads, no feathers on the feet. The pouf on top seems to carry with all Silkie crosses.
