Can anyone tell me what breed this is?

Does anyone know what breed this is? It was suppose to be either a Cornish Cross or a Red Ranger, but it does not look like any of the other birds...

It looks like some sort of mix, or *possibly* a Bielfielder (I'm not 100% sure I'm spelling that right)

You really think it's a barred rock??? I don't think it looks like one, but I'm curious as to why you think it might be.

I just looked them up, it could be... I got them from an order at the feed store. I'm not sure where they get them from. As time has gone on, I definitely don't think it's a red ranger.

I have raised quite a few. I'm 95% sure.

Pretty bird!

I believe it’s called a Dixie Rainbow. It’s a meat bird.

Okay, I just thought barred rocks were black and white. would it be a variation of a barred rock?

Barred rocks are indeed black and white.

Thanks, I did some quick research, it could very well be a Dixie Rainbow... From what I've read, it can be a dual purpose bird. Is that correct? If so, has anyone had any experience with them?
