Breed of Rooster?

[ADHilse]

I got gifted this rooster from my well meaning dad. He has no idea the breed of rooster he bought. He looks like a Lavender Orpington maybe? Does anyone have a idea on possible breed? He has feathered legs.

Orpingtons don't have feathered legs. My best guess would be a Cochin. He's a handsome roo!

I think Cochin is a good guess. I think gifting someone a rooster might be worst than a surprise kitten when you weren't planning on getting one?

Yeah I googled and saw that. He also resembles a lavender brahma to me.

Shew! No kidding! My dad is 76 and means well, I didnt have the heart to tell him, I have no need of a rooster. So the rooster is now on his way to my brother’s farm to be company for his hens. Lol.
