What type of rooster is Mike?

Got this guy a while ago. I think the lady told me what he was, but she also said female so.....

Not sure why those pictures posted twice. Mike is just now attempting a pathetic crow and has nubs where his spurs will be, so that is how old he is.

It looks like a Rhode Island Red cockerel

I'm thinking production or new Hampshire red as far as age maybe18 to 20 weeks

New Hampshire sounds very familiar. I think you are on to something....With my memory, I really need to write things down LOL

Crossbred. He doesn't fit any pure bred exactly.

Hmmm. She had all pure bred chickens kept separated, but he was just out walking around, not in a specific cage so that is certainly possible. I remember her saying something about him being a dark egg layer though, still going on the premise that it was a female.

Doesn't fit any of the dark egg laying breeds either. And as you've already determined she was wrong on the sex as well.

Yep. I think we will just say Mike is a mutt LOL
