Don't know if it's pure or a mix, but here's an url to the sex links. If nothing matches, you can plow thru the rest of the alphabet!

Looks like a Jungle Fowl or a Partridge Rock...possibly Old English. Why don't you e-mail Stromberg's with the picture as an attachment and ask them? Enjoy your life.

From what I can tell its a black breasted old english game rooster. Does not look like any of our sex-links. Does he have a rose comb or is it straight? Game roosters have straight combs. Hope this helps.

If it is a full sized email it looks quite like a Danish Brown Leghorn.

Jeannie, I have some OEBBGs. Old English Black Breasted Reds (Game Bantams) that look like him. Eagle

We have a couple just like him, Old English game hens, and yes, they are banties. Banties are just chickens that were bred to be small. Mary
