Hahaha, I AM that crazy chicken lady who lives up the hill...and I have an itty-bitty egg biz; I sell about 7 doz week and it's a labor or love, not a huge money-maker. Actually not a money making enterprise at all. I was fantasizing I could sell enough eggs to help pay the taxes...but...

He's got hipster mutton chops and no feathered feet, so . Prolly a mutt.

I have a rescue roo that is black w/ copper cape, really long tail feathers until someone pulled them out...and the weirdest mottled black and red comb and black eyes. He is smallish. Anyone have any idea what he might be?

No, there are RIRs, NHreds, Bl. Austra., Americaunas, Orpingtons, one Ancona, Wh LG, Bl. Sex Links, SLW and RLWs, mystery rescue hens, and Brown LHs, and mutts. Those are the adults. Quite a variety but they look pretty on our lawn!

He is GORGEous!! What breed? I want one....

Thanks, that gives me an idea; I have two broody girls that I can take out and break of their broodiness, then they will hopefully be on the bottom and my sweet RIR will be able to hang out with her mean girlfriends again, lol.
