Young Bantam-cross roosters looking for their own flocks (Oregon)

[usnea]

I've got no less than three young roosters who've all recently come of age. If you live in Lane or Benton county (Oregon) and are in need of a good protector for your flock, these guys can do the job. They've grown up free ranging (sleeping in a coop at night) and are now showing their stuff in protecting the hens. They're Bantam crosses, so they're small (great if you have a small coop or like to keep the feathers on your hens' backs). I've got 1 Buff Orprington-Bantam cross, and two Plymouth Rock-Bantam crosses. They've filled out a bit more since these photos. (The Buff guy has quite the personality.) All three are non-aggressive.

They are very pretty. What bantam breed are they crossed with?

Hi. The golden one is crossed with a Buff Orpington. The grey ones are crossed with a hen that is half Plymouth Rock and half-Ameracauna. (She looks like a Plymouth but lays green eggs.) Their dad is your classic Bantam. Quite beautiful.

There are dozens of bantam breeds.

Perhaps you mean Old English Game Bantam?

Edit: Ah wait that can't be right based on the gray one's comb.

Probably. I only know the breeds I intend to procure. The Bantam rooster was given to me when a neighbor was moving and needed to get rid of their chickens. Consequently I don't know much about his specific breed (other than how he behaves in my flock).
