Wondering what breed Kody the rooster is

[FarmerKayy]

Hello! I was wondering if anyone could help me identify the breed of this beautiful guy. He arrived in a Hoover’s Hatchery mix.

He is very handsome! Maybe a delaware mix?

So looking at the Hoover's Hatchery catalog, and assuming that, like many hatcheries, they don't sell mixes other than their specialty mixes (Sapphire Stars, for example), or generic mixes like Olive Eggers or Easter Eggers, he looks like a Columbian Wyandotte--they do sell those--but a Wyandotte typically has a rose comb. So, I am guessing that he is the result of a cross between a Columbian Wyandotte and a straight-comb bird, maybe a Delaware? Or maybe he is just a non-standard Wyandotte.

Very nice looking, either way! If you are using him for breeding, the Wyandotte and/or Delaware genes would work toward a large-to-extra-large brown egg. Both Wyandotte and Delaware breeds are good foragers.

Probably some type of hatchery hybrid, or maybe a hatchery quality Delaware.

Poor Quality Delaware.

I also think Red Sexlink

I found this photo and description of a red sex link rooster at Cackle Hatchery, and it does indeed look like your rooster:

From their description, his male parent was a Rhode Island Red and his female parent a Delaware. Brown eggs, good foragers.
