Wondering about Breed and age

[Sandygator]

This handsome fellow showed up one morning atop the coop and adopted our girls. He's been here every since. He is calm, tame and seems young, but I have no idea! I'm new to this chicken thing, but I do love mine!
Can anyone identify a specific breed? Any idea how old he is?
Thanks in advance for your help.

He reminds me of a speckled Sussex except that his comb and leg color are all wrong. He's a pretty boy!

Thanks, he is pretty, aint he?

Would any other pictures be helpful, or does this show the important things?

He is gorgeous! Are you going to keep him? I agree, a Speckled Sussex mix of some sort.

I reckon he's keeping us! LOL He's been here two weeks.

Maybe DTChickens (Daniel) will find his way to this thread and correct me if I am wrong, but looks like an oriental game crossed with American game. He is more than likely less than a year old.

Could be.. I'd say maybe even a pure American game but he has the head and short beak of an Oriental, not to mention the small wattles. I would guess in the one year range as well.

Thanks so much guys! Now I'm wondering where he might have come from. I have 4 hens; a rhode island red, a buff minorcan, and 2 americaunas. I really just want eggs and a few meat chickens later on down the road. Can I allow this rooster to make babies with my hens?
