What breed is Clucker???

[jenyan318]

Clucker came to me after my son's classroom hatched chickens and needed to find them homes. We took 3. Two were Barred Rocks and this was the third.

One of your barred Rocks doesn't have yellow legs, so it's not a Barred Rock. The one you're asking about is a mixed breed. He's got a lot going on. White ears (maybe from a leghorn), barring and penciling, and white legs (maybe from Marans, Orpington, or Sussex). He's definitely got at least 3 or more 'breeds' in him.

The chicken with the pinkish colored legs may be a cuckoo marans. I can't tell in that picture.

With the pink legs, red earlobes, and his almost barred look, I bet he is part Cuckoo Marans. Your Barred Plymouth Rock with pink legs is likely a Cuckoo Marans too.

Are you referring to the first cockerel the OP asked about?

All the pictures are of the same cockerel and yes I'm talking about him

I am just curious. The cockerel has white ear lobes.

His temperament is sweeter than the others and he's MUCH softer. Also a bit quieter.

The tiny tuft of feathers covering the ear is white, but if you enlarge the picture you can see that it's actual earlobe is pure red
