photo (2).JPGI traded for this rooster because I love his color. I have tried to determine his breed but have not been able to I know he isnt a double barred lemon cuckoo orpington. I think he is a leghorn but dont know because of the color. Please help me! Thanks
 
I think he's some type of leghorn x, definitely not a legbar of any type.

I thought Leghorn cross when I saw the picture Mshute, but got a stiff neck before I could post a reply! It's OK now. If I'd been thinking straight at the time I could have turned the screen on its side.

Lovely colour as you say. Our 'drive-by dumped' Pekin cockerels were the same colour feathering.
 
Don't think this is a Leghorn colour but if it was a pure Leghorn, I would expect a bigger comb and white ear lobes.
 
I agree chuck his tail is kinda short to but that could be from fighting with other roosters at his previous owners. I have been reading a lot about the double barred english lemon cuckoo orpingtons. I am gonna have to get a trio of them. I love there color and size. There is a farm here in the us that has a a flock from two different bloodlines shipped over from england. Bit pricey but I think they will be worth it.
 
because of the barring i would suggest some maran in his background. but without knowing what his breeding is its just guesswork. just accept that he is a prety crossbreed.
