What breed of chicken?

[red35horse]

Hi,

Can anyone of you identify this rooster for me? I ordered fertile eggs from Ebay and was told they were black Jersey Giants. Two of the 6 eggs hatched. One was a hen and one a rooster who I named Bob. He is a beautiful rooster, but I don't believe he is a Jersey Giant. He is very colorful and doesn't look anything like the pictures I see of Jersey Giant roosters on the internet. The hen is a Jersey Gaint I think, but I don't know what type of rooster Bob is. He is very aggressive and so protective of his hens. He is always trying to get you when you go near the pen. He is quite entertaining. Please let me know if you think you know what he is. Thank you, I hope someone can identify him.

Hmmm... Can't think of what he could be. I like his tail, though.

Maybe a Welsummer??? Sure looks like it to me, but I don't know for sure.

Or maybe not...I believe Welsummers have yellow shanks and toes.

I don't know the breed, but I just have to say... he's GORGEOUS!!!

Looks a lot like my Black Breasted Red Game minus the silver shanks. And if he's a little high strung bordering on aggressive, you may want to check out some images of OEGs. Good luck!
