What kind of rooster do I have? - He's gorgeous!

[TrialNerror]

He was a random flea market purchase when he was very young (we thought he was a female) but he's so beautiful and gentle I want to get more of this breed. Problems is - I have zero clue and I've searched lots of different breeds but nothing really fits him. The closest I've seen is a blue laced red wyandotte but his chest doesn't fit the bill.

He's a mix. Color is closer to a red shouldered yom.

He's a very pretty mixed breed cockerel.

He's mixed enough no specific breed jumps out, sorry. If you like his temperament and want more like him, easiest thing to do is to hatch some of his babies. Of course, you have to have a plan for the approx. 50% cockerels you hatch out.

Definitely a mix.
