Hello,

I am curious if anyone might know what breed my rooster is? I have attached some pictures of him here. He has a unique comb and feet. I incubate my eggs and would really like to know what he might be. Thanks!

Where did you get him?
Sometimes knowing that will help figure out the breed.

He has a unique comb and feet.
I think that's some form of a pea comb, which is fairly common in the Easter Eggers sold by many hatcheries in the USA. "Easter Eggers" just means they are supposed to lay blue or green eggs, but don't fit the description for any specific pure breed.

You could also get a comb like that from crossing a breed with a pea comb (like Brahma or Buckeye) with a breed that has a single comb.

I can't see his feet clearly enough to tell what is unique about them. Do they have feathers growing on them? Is it something about the color? Do they have extra toes or something else different about their shape?

My husband bought him and some hens full grown and he didn’t ask what their breed was when he picked them up. It was an individual he bought from. His feet are white colored with no feathers on the feet. Probably safe to say he is more than likely an Easter Egger without the fluff around the ears

Probably either an Easter Egger or a Barnyard Mix. (The only difference: Easter Egger has the genes for blue or green eggs, Barnyard Mix usually does not. Either one can be a mix of breeds.)

His feet are white colored with no feathers on the feet.
White feet do happen in some chicken breeds, such as Orpingtons and Sussex. He doesn't look like any pure breed I know, but could easily be a mix that includes a breed with white feet.

Some Easter Eggers have the fluff, some do not. There is a breed called Ameraucana that lays blue eggs and always has the muff/beard on the face, and many Easter Eggers do look like wanna-be Ameraucanas, but there are also plenty that look different.
