What breed is this?

[Studabird]

Okay I know it is a bad picture. My daughter’s friend has to get rid of a cockerel. It is a TSC special so they don’t know what it is either. If I get him he will be living with 8 Buff Brahma hens that are 14 months old.

Looks like an Olive Egger.

Very pretty, healthy-looking boy. He’s an Olive egger, so if you breed him to your hens the female offspring will likely lay shades of green.

Here are a couple more pics of him. My daughter told me the previous owners just didn’t want a Rooster. Come to find out they don’t mind roosters they just didn’t want him because he is a bad rooster. So I brought him home anyway and kept him separated from his future flock for the evening. This morning I let him out to mingle and he did wonderful. I walked right up on him and he backed away and while he has been breeding the girls it hasn’t been abusive. So I am keeping my fingers crossed and my eyes on him.

He looks like a good guy! Big enough to easily defend them from things.

You do realize you have a few random eggs laying around, right? It’s best to pick those up so there’s no predators attracted, or the hens eating them, or just rotten eggs.

I agree that he’s an Olive egger (marans x legbar).

He doesn't look bad he looks happy.
Glad you gave him a chance to be a rooster.

Interesting! Back in April, I bought a bunch of those on clearance for $1 at TSC. They were sold as Marans that lay chocolate brown eggs. I got lucky and got 8 ladies.
