What breed is this gentleman?

[Missxmantha]

I'm like 80% sure it's a boy. But I'm not sure what breed he is. He had VERY puffy cheeks as a baby. I'll attach a picture of him then, as well as now. He's about 5-6 weeks old. His name is Sir Cluck

Where did you get him? Probably an Easter egger if it's from a feed store.

Hello there!

I agree with you in that it looks like a cockerel, at least to me.

It also looks like he may be a sapphire gem. The chick looks very similar or maybe even identical, and he has the same feathers, legs, comb, and beak of one. I’m not entirely sure though, because there are a lot of breeds that look similar to sapphire gems (such as blue Andalusian, Australorp, Ameraucana, Wyandotte, and blue Plymouth Rock) not to mention hybrids that may inherit the genes that give them the same appearance as one of the parents. Sorry I can’t tell you for sure, but I hope this helps!

He very well could be a sapphire gem! The breeder I purchased him from does breed those. That would make sense. Thank you, I really appreciate it!

He's not from a feed store. I did purchase from a local breeder, but unfortunately he doesn't separate chicks by breed.

I agree he looks like a cockerel and omg he's adorable!!!

The only reason I don't think he could be a sapphire gem is because he has muffs.

But aren't sapphire gems an auto sexing breed? I don't recall a white spot on his head . I'll have to look back at my pictures

He was very cute as a baby! That's why I snatched him up

Yes, he had VERY puffy cheeks. Looked like he had a double chin
