Is this a BJG?

I think sometimes he had little feathers in his legs too. Maybe he was a cross of some kind?

I thought it looked like broken feather "roots" running down his leg. He's most likely a mix then. Small chance he was a Black Marans too.

Thanks, @MROO. You're right, I had forgotten how captivating that beetle-green iridescence of his feathers could be! So beautiful!

Thanks, @Gray Farms, it'll give me something to watch for in my new BJG to compare against my memory of Elvis!

We got Elvis by chance, so we didn't really know what he was or even how old he was. When we were just getting started, a lady at our church with a couple hunded birds let us pick out a dozen or so birds to get started. We sure didn't know what we were doing! She just wouldn't let us take any that were very old. When we heard one crow, we realized we'd need a roo. Looking around, we saw this big black rooster. The lady said we should take him as the other roosters were picking on him. He crowed again and I named him Elvis on the spot.

Good luck in your search for Elvis Jr.
