Tiff 36 Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 I have a rooster that was given to me, and am wondering what his breed or mix is? I was told he is probably an Americana/Araucana crossed to a heavy breed such as a brahma because he is very large, is knee high and about 13 pounds. Anyone have an opinion on him?

Anyone have an opinion on him? he's not a brahma cross because he has'nt got feathered legs tj Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tiff 36 Posted January 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 so all Brahma crosses always have feathered legs? What other heavy breeds might lend that type of coloration, rose comb etc? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
siskin 4 Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 jungle fowl in him too i woulnt say he was a straight cross more more a yard bird as in both cock and hen where not true breeds their selfs but looks a game fella whisper paxo in his ear and see if goes at you Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dogs-n-natives 1,182 Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 Blue laced Wyandotte X (something with columbian colouration) possibly a game breed? cant quite pin point it... il keep staring at it..lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CarraghsGem 92 Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 (edited) brahma crosses dont always have feathers on their legs neither do silkie or pekin crosses even out of same clutch you can get huge variations, are you gonna roast him? i wouldnt bother breeding him myself! he could have cornish in him despite his colouring and shape, his head is middleing gamey Edited January 26, 2010 by CarraghsGem Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dabhand 887 Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 may be silki in him looks like he got 5 toes Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spirit 0 Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 dorkings also have 5 toes, but I think there is a good chance that he is an Aracauna x brahma Quote Link to post Share on other sites
berty1 8 Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 Looks like he has Belgian game blood in him, for the size and leg colour, but definately crossed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
