What do you think this Brahma is crossed with clearly not a purebred . He has feathers on the outside of his legs and a blue colored chest ?

Obviously a guess but with the body shape, comb and coloration, I'm going with Wyandotte.

I was just about to say that as well. BLRW.

Could be a cochin x Brahma. Or possibly a poor quality blue partridge Brahma.

He came in hatching eggs that were a mixed pen of Lemon Pyle and Partridge Brahmas , hens had blue tinges so you may be on to something there . He has very little tail feathers .

He certainly is a huge bird . Barnyard mix offspring from him all have blue feathers somewhere . A young roosters from him pictured .

Partridge Brahmas ,

That makes me think Blue parterre Braham. He is gorgeous!

Definitely mixed with Wyandotte.
The photo of his offspring confirms it.

I don’t really see any indication that he has wyandotte in him. He does have blue and red, like a BLRW, but so do many other breeds. He isn’t laced that I can tell. The lacing of one of his sons could easily come from that cockerel’s mother, not him. Also, his comb is a pea comb (though not the best example of one), and if he was a wyandotte cross he would probably have a walnut comb (rose x pea) or a rose comb.
What really makes me think Brahma cross is that his back seems to be too short for a Brahma, his overall shape, and short tail. However, seeing as you got him from a pen of mixed color brahmas, I’m inclined to think he’s pure, just poorer quality. Breeders of project colors and uncommon varieties sometimes have birds with incorrect traits because they’re focusing on getting the colors right first, or because they don’t have much good stock to work from.
