This is my roo. He has a smaller comb and wattles than other roosters.What is his breed?

and is he obese? I know i can tell by touching his keel bone but I'm not sure where it is.

I do not know what breed, probably a cross and maybe has some Ameraucana in him? I'm not great with breeds though as I just keep silkies.

He doesn't look obese to me. Chickens usually won't be unless fed a lot of treats and table scraps, corn, etc., so not getting the nutrition from their feed. One of the causes of early death is a fatty liver. There are many posts of necropsies done showing all the fat.

He's just simply gorgeous!

The keel bone you should be able to feel under his crop.
