What breed(s) is my roo?

Was given to me as a Sapphire Gem, but in googling “sapphire gem rooster”, the images don’t quite match up.
We’re planning on incubating some of our eggs, so I’m just interested in being able to research possible genetics he’s the best boy!

He could possibly be a blue copper Marans, as those don't always have feathered feet. He's definitely not a Sapphire Gem roo, those are barred.

Good to know! Thank you! I just got him on Craigslist, so I have no clue.

Could he be a Rhode Island Blue, sometimes called a Production Blue? They can have the red leakage.

Mine came from Mt. Healthy. It's a hen but the roo on their page looks similiar to yours minus the color on the tail.

When I zoom in on the picture it looks like he does have a few leg feathers, so blue copper marans (or at least mix) is a possibility

Yes, these aren’t super great pictures of his feet, he does have a bit of leg feathering.
That’s exciting! Thank you

Okay- I change my vote to blue copper Marans, lol. RI Blue shouldn’t have leg feathering.
