I found this chicken at work, but don't know what breed it is. I think that it is a game chicken. I have been feeding and was thinking about bringing it home, but I am concerned with it getting along with my other 5 1/2 week old chickens and my kids. Sorry about the pic quality, they were taken with my phone. Questions: 1.) What breed is it? 2.) Cock or Hen? 3.) Will it do okay with my other chickens (5 1/2 weeks old)? 4.) Will it be okay with my kids (2, 4 & 7 years old)?
Can't tell for sure, but it looks like it has a pea comb, which would make me think it's an EE/Game mix of some type. It is definitely a rooster. Only a trial period will tell for sure how it will act with your other chickens and kids. You should quarantine him for a month before introducing him to your other chickens so he doesn't give them any diseases. He looks like he may have a case of fowl pox (transmitted by mosquitoes and will heal on its own) or just got beat up pretty good.
I agree with KellyHM. I was thinking EE/game mix rooster. He looks like he's young with the short spurs and looks like a mean rascal too, never can tell though lol. Definitely has a bad case of fowl pox. I wouldnt bring him home at all, no telling what else he might have. Think bio-security.
I live in the city limits and can not have a rooster due to noise ordinances, so I couldn't bring him home anyway. I will try to find a good home for him, elsewhere. Thanks for the information.
Looks to me like an Aseel rooster. If it is, be careful with putting him with other roos. They are fighting games, and will fight till the death.
First of all its a roo because of the cape and saddle feathers.Only roos have them.Your roo has spurs and the comb is a pea comb .Its a young fighting roo.I wouldn't put him with any others in your flock.He will kill 'em.I live in SC and its a class D misdemeanor to have a cock fight.It will cost you a whopping 50 dollars. It is an Asil Rooster.
