A Buckeye? Isn't that a basketball team?

After a lot of mulling, scratching my whiskers and thinking, I've come to the conclusion that we have a mutt, and not an Orloff rooster. Actually, after looking through thousands of photos online, I think the one strange looking chickidee is actually a Buckeye.  Now, it may still be a rooster, but I'm 99.1% certain that it is not Orloff. The Orloff will have more head feathers, ear muffs and a beard by now, just like the pullets.  If Buckeye is a hen, we will keep her or sell her.  If Buckeye is a rooster, we will eat him or sell him.  Enough said.
Buckeye? That's what I am thinking - @ 6 weeks

I believe we have a Buckeye chicken 8 weeks
