I dont know his exact age, but he is an April hatch.  He is pretty, and although he is not the biggest roo out of the bunch, he is definately the boss!

It's hard to see in these pics, but I'd say he's potentially a Silver Birchen.

From the pictures you posted I would say Silver Birchen (Birchen) also.

Cool, Thanks!  I am a chicken newbie and have been addicted to this site!  We'll see how he works out for us.  I like him, he's great with me and he fell alseep while my 4 year old daughter was petting him,  but he HATES my husband!  LOL.  My hubby said this guy was trying to chase him and peck him,  and I didn't believe it until I saw it.  Looks like he may need to have his own house/coop if I keep him.
