What breed is this rooster?

[Momof2monsters]

I purchased this rooster back in August. When I purchased him I was told he was a Oliver Egger. I’m not sure since I have heard that Olive Eggers have pea combs and muffs. He has a single Comb and no muffs and has feathered legs.

Can you post a few pictures of him?

Pics please! However, olive eggers and Easter eggers are mixed breeds, can have different combs.

I’m Sorry when I posted it didn’t post the photo. Here he is.

I would say olive egger.

Looks like a birchen marans was possibly used in his breeding.

That would be if they were an Ameraucana mix. Olive Eggers (which is like a subsection of Easter Eggers) are mixed breeds. Meaning there are no features they do or don't have. They are mutts that lay olive eggs. You've got yourself a handsome guy.

Thank you. I was excited to get him when I seen him. He is beautiful and I only paid $5 for him. He was very young when I got him and has been wonderful with my hens. We’ve already had 6 hatched out he has fathered so excited to find out what color eggs they may lay when they’re old enough.

Looks more than a brahma cross than an olive egger

He has a modified pea comb. He could be a second generation cross, meaning that he’s an olive egger x marans, which would explain the lack of muffs.
