Who is this Guy?

[Chicky Granny and PopPop]

I purchased 8 pullets from Tractor Supply in early June.

Two were supposed to be Calico Princess and two were supposed to be Starlight Green Eggers. I am now confused as to whether Calico Jack below is a Calico Princess or Starlight Green Egger. His sister died at day two so i have no pullet to help identify his breed. The other four were Buff Orpingtons and Saffire Gems, so there is no confusion on what they are.

The pictures I have seen of both Calico Princess and Starlight Green Eggers are nothing like him.

Any insight from the experienced chicken gurus here would be appreciated. I am new to chickens and also the Backyard Chickens site.

Thanks, Pat

I agree, doesn't look like the two mentioned but I don't know what else he could be.

Look up those breeds on the internet. It should tell you what a male and female would look like.

Since both breeds are hybrids, you won't get a standardized "look" to them, but I believe he is a Starlight Green Egger. You can compare him to the cockerels in this thread: https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...ress-pics-and-breed-discussion.1583671/page-2

What a beautiful rooster! I agree he is most likely a Starlight Green egger. All of the Calico Princess chickens I've seen have the barring gene, and he does not.

He looks like my SGE:

They do look alike. I am confident he is a SGE. I am disappointed I won’t be getting any green eggs from him. But he is a good rooster.
Thanks for the pictures.

I was disappointed too, he is a little mean to me but loves and protects his hens.
