What breed mix is this?

Almost certain this is a cockerel. Any guesses on breed. I had light Brahmas, black Autralorp, Isa brown and golden laced Wyandotte and the only rooster I had at the time was the one in the second photo.

That doesn’t exactly make sense. It’s gotta be the australorp, I think. But i’m not sure.

X2. Australorp is obviously the mother. But the leakage should be more reddish/yellowish and less silver. So it doesn’t make sense.

That’s what I was thinking. Though, do Australorps carry silver?
The father looks to be pure for gold. It’s quite confusing.

I guess they do.

I guess they do.

So how would homozygous silver x homozygous gold (?) = a bird that appears to be homozygous for silver?
Very confusing.
Is it possible the father is heterozygous dominant for gold?

I’m as confused as you are.
He should have at least a little yellow.

Maybe it'll come in as he ages. He sure is a mystery.
