What Breed(s) Might My Rojo Be?

[BigBlueHen53]

Feathered feet is a dominant trait not just for one breed. Cochins, Brahmas, Silkies, etc. all are supposed to have feathered feet.

Yeah. No, he doesn't. Very clean legs and feet.

Is that a rose comb?

Is that a rose comb?

Yes. Single combs are recessive.

He goes running to see what's up if there's a disturbance among the girls; I like that. And he's very respectful of humans, always moving away from us if we get too close. Wary, I would say. Not panicky, just wanting to ... socially distance, i guess. I like that, too.

He is young?

 

[BigBlueHen53]

The comb and flesh colored legs.

Ah, okay. Thanks.

 

[BigBlueHen53]

Yes. Single combs are recessive.

He is young?

Okay, thanks.

Young, yes. I think they said 15 months when I got him about 2 months ago. Just has little spur nubs so far. But he leaves the cockerels alone. In fact they snuggle under him at night and he doesn't object.

Thats why I thought he was young! Okay then. Hope he serves your flock well!

Goodnight Blue!

 

[BigBlueHen53]

Okay, so let's assume he is part Wyandotte. Suppose I were to collect some of my EE eggs from him (when they start laying again). Should I anticipate hatching difficulties because of the size of the rooster compared to the hens? Or will nature take care of that?

Thanks, good night!

Do you know any possible parents?

 

[EmmaRainboe]

Truth is we could guess 100s of possible crosses, but without any parameters or other information there's really no way to know.
