my dad has a rag tag mix of chickens- some mixed breed home breds, some feed store chicks, some “rescues” from people that have given him their flock. He gave me this rooster today and I’m not sure which category it belongs in! Is this a typical color pattern for a specific breed or is it most likely a mix? These are the only photos I have so far but he’s so pretty I’m sure there will be more to come!

He’s so pretty :love His beard makes him 10x more handsome!!
He Looks like the dark counterpart to this old rooster I had cared for way back when, he was a Salmon Faverolle. Leaning towards those lines along with all the others!

Salmon Faverolle mix it would seem. I can make out five toes, but there aren't any feathered feet.
I can’t see that fifth toe you mention :confused: I only see four toes and then his spurs you can definitely see, could you show were you see the fifth toe?
 
Sadly I cannot update on this rooster, because I lost him :hit I got too eager to let him free range with my girls, who don't wander too far (I'm on 10 acres though) - unfortunately he did not stay with the hens as I anticipated and disappeared. I am heartbroken because I was so excited to have such a pretty bird, plus being excited to see what kind of chicks he would throw with my girls. I hope he wandered to a neighbor that is just keeping him, but realistically I'm sure his fate was of the less fortunate variety.
