Hi, We"rescued" this roo from the selling pens of our local feed store when the local temps were hitting the 108 mark. Their pens were inside a metal building and the birds were all suffering a bit (heck, they'd suffer in the full shade in a wading pool at those temps!).
We don't know what breed this guy is, but he's really handsome - a deep, rich blue (shows up more bluish gray on these pics...at least on my pc). Some thoughts were - Orpington (although not very big), bantam Jersey Giant. Any thoughts out there??
(In the background of the first shot, is a hen that was with him...not same breed or color...believe she's an OEG Wheaten...welcome feedback there too, but this post is mostly about the roo. )
