What breed is this?

[mrjoltcola]

Hmm Im not sure what the bird above is, that looks like someone posted in the wrong thread. I'm posting a pic of both siblings. Now that you can see the barred one, does that give you any insight into what mix made these?

It looks like the barred one is showing more Oriental influence. Narrower body with longer neck and he has pea comb- no rose comb in him.

Very tempted to say there was a good bit of mixing with Oriental breed(s) of some sort with silkie, probably something else to contribute the barring- barring is present in orientals, it is rather uncommon though.

if there are pea rose or walnut comb hens from the same stock, very likely they are related in some way.. If there are no hens, you can try breeding the daughter of one with the other rooster to outbreed a little bit yet maintain generally their type.

agree the one in the back looks very oriental to me

Wow he is gorgeous - such vibrant golden feathers.

The first thing that came to my mind was that the sweet roosters were phonixes. I'm not completely sure, but i think they might be phonixes.

I know this is a bad picture, but this is Gordo, a very sweet chick it's supposed to be a buff Orpington. Having doubts. Any ideas ? I'm hoping it's not a red Broiler because it's so precious.
( they are in a large brooder now )

I think its colouring might be too dark to be Buff Orpington - is he with Japanese bantams?

Leghorns and black sex link was what I was sold.

Update on Gordo.

Sweet,sweet bird. He/she is spending days with me and nights in a cat carrier because the ideal 236 were bullying her /him. Even there is food/water and plenty of room in the brooder. Really hoping for a buff orphinton pullet. Gordo is getting really soft and fluffy and getting a golden color. Regardless of the outcome I'm thinking about having Gordo as a house chicken.
No tail thanks to those leghorns.

I edited this post and added the 2nd bird, which has barring. The one in first pic and on right in second pic has an extra toe like a silkie, and both have Walnut combs. Kev pointed out that these are Walnut combs, I ignortantly thought it was rose comb. Read on for rest of thread...

look like Asil blood crossed or hatchery bird poor Asils. Rose Comb Brown Leghorns crossed on Pes head Gamefowl
