What breed?

[BCapps]

I have thought this rooster was a barred rock but I recently realized he, like most of my birds, is a mixed breed.he has a beard but no leg feathers. Could he be part cucko faverolle?

I don't know why but for some reason I am unable to open your image.

I can't either.

He might be an Easter Egger/Barred Rock mix.

Cuckoo Faverolles are hard to come by in the U.S.

Here is another photo. The best ones I have are on my cell phone. If this one does not open I will take another tomorrow. Thanks for looking.

He's a mixed breed. Most he's got some barred Rock and some Easter Egger. Faverolles have white skin and feather legs. Feathered legs are dominant, so it's unlikely to be in the mix.

I agree.

Thanks. I can see that mix now. None of my hens are EE. Is there any chance the pullets from this springs hatch will lay blue or green tinted eggs? A couple of them have beards.

There's always a chance, but with that single comb it's unlikely your rooster carries the blue egg gene. In the vast majority of cases, it is paired up with a pea comb.
