According to google:
"The image features a rooster, likely a hatchery-quality Welsummer breed.
It has a single, large red comb and prominent red wattles.
The plumage is a distinct partridge color pattern, with a vibrant orange-red neck and back feathers contrasting with black chest and tail feathers.
It is one of the closest domestic chicken breeds in appearance to its wild ancestor, the Red Junglefowl.
The breed originated in the Netherlands and is known for both meat and large, dark brown eggs."
