What breed is this rooster?

[abi24]

Bought four lavender orpingtons at an auction. I'm no expert but this fellow is no orpington!

Can someone tell me what breed he is?

Thanks for your help.

He is a mix. I have a similar colored rooster from a mottled to buff Columbian. As far as breeds in the mix it's anyone's guess.

No, that doesn't resemble an Orpington Hmm, I am no expert so I can't really even take a good guess. But some experts should be coming along soon to help you figure out what this beautiful boy is!

Mix but oh so pretty he is

I'm sorry that this won't be helpful, but I don't know what he is exactly, just that he's a mix and he's handsome!

Looks to me as if you have yourself a cross breed. But just in case, or to help figure out what kind of cross, does he have feathered legs? Handsome rooster indeed!

Not lavender nor Orpington. He's a crossbred, pretty though.

Thanks for your help. He is a little mean to the hens; he may have to go on "vacation".
