Wyandotte?

[Rmomma]

I posted yesterday asking whether this was a cockerel or pullet. Everyone agreed it was a cockeral, but now I need help with the breed. I did some research and the best thing I can come up with is a Mauve Wyandotte.. opinions?

Barnyard mix.

Agreed, mix.

I agree. Wrong shape and skin colour for a pure Wyandotte. Shape is more Orpington and skin colour is right for that breed but comb is a rose comb so maybe an Orpington Wyandotte mix although I am pretty sure the genetics would rule out a straightforward F1 cross.
Where did you get it as that might shine more light on it's origins?

I bought it as a chick- listed as a English Mauve Orpington Hen. Looks like it is neither.

What section could I find some English Orpington breeders? Looks like I’m going to be needing to add to my flock
