What in the world is he??

[littleridgefarmer]

We bought this young roo as a 'Black Giant' but he definately has a mix - any thoughts on what's in that mix??

he does have some black giant in him but he also has some old english look to his face as well as cochin or wyandotte

Thanks - I'll take a look at some photos of those breeds online to check it out. Much appreciated!

Minus his head and neck, his body looks exactly like my EE roo, which was a hatchery "Black Ameraucana" but the roo & his four hens lay green or pink eggs, 2 of each color...

Does he have feathered legs? He looks like a BC maran.

To me he looks like he has a little Black or Partridge Rock... go to this website and look at the pics of some of these roos.

Reminds me of a black australorp with the gold birchen gene.

What ever he is he is beautiful...

Yes - absolutely agree he is a beautiful young roo.

. His legs are black so he is probably mostly Jersey Giant - and he has no feathers on his legs.
