Is this guy a mutt?

I recently got this rooster from an auction, and I’m assuming he’s a mix. He’s fairly small—larger than a bantam but still on the smaller side. He’s also very skittish. Any ideas on his breed? Thanks!

Reminds me of Sicilian Buttercup, but they have darker legs and whiter earlobes, so maybe he is hatchery quality.

Grab him from thr roost at night and check him carefully for lice or mites.

Have you already dewormed him? Internal and external parasites can leave a bird rather nervous as they deprive them of vital nutrients and healthy sleep.

And I would also trim his overgrown nails.
