It looks like some kind of black breasted red cock. I think it has game fowl blood in it because of the long streamlined silhouette.
Check out the Maras Chicken Club USA and the Marans of America Club websites, Look for hens from folk in North Carolina.
Black Copper Marans are a breed which needs color balancing. You want to stay within the breed if you want your birds
to look as pretty as your rooster,
. This is not a breed where you can outcross to something else and then come back and expect to see replicas of your
original birds in the next generation.
