Is this a Wyandotte or another Gamefowl?

[celticshadowdragon]

In May I hatched out an order of eggs that I did not want. I have kept them because I put in the effort to hatch them. This one, I thought was a Wyandotte because of the rose comb (foundation as a chick was the rose comb), but this and the body structure is not something I am familiar with and caused doubts.

Please help me understand what breed he is, if he is or isn’t a Wyandotte and what I am supposed to look for.

Edits: clarification about comb, fixed title to be gamefowl and not game bird and I am questioning his entire being not aspects only.

I guess it's some kind of mix.
The comb looks more like a pea comb the a rose comb. could be a combo of both.
Also looks to have some white in its lobe.
Can't tell what the shank color is under the black wash. Are the bottom of his feet white or yellow?

Could be a wyandotte mix. But that looks more like a pea comb than a rose comb. Body structure isn't quite right for a wyandotte, but could also still be filling out.

Looks like a barnyard mix to me.

Comb is a Pea comb, not Rose.

He's a Barnyard Mix.


When you say Game Bird, that is referring to Quail, Partridge, Turkey, Chukar, & Pheasants.
I believe you mean Gamefowl, which are chickens that are/were bred for sport in the pits.

Yes, that is what I meant.

As a chick it was the rose comb foundation, it definitely has morphed into more of a pea comb look and in my haste of the original post, I failed to express my doubts and stupidly called his comb a rose comb. My Wyandottes combs are on point but this had added doubt as I looked at his body structure and felt it seemed off. I hadn’t considered the earlobes color initially either. But guess I can add him to the other group and clear myself of getting attached.

He is too tall right? Google imaging had said Liege or something… a type of fighting breed. But the breeders son in another state is the only one with that breed supposedly. Lol

Yes! I think now looking at it compared to when he was a chick that a cross of the two combs is most likely. He had a rose comb foundation as a chick which is why my brain kept calling it a rose comb. I had doubts because of the comb looking different than I expected for a roo and his body structure and with the mahogany in his feathers. But now that you point out the earlobes, my girls do not have white earlobes either.

His shanks are dark but I believe the base is white, not yellow since his legs don't look green. I will check again when I go outside
