Thanks, was able to get one more picture to upload showing meaty shape on this pullet.

I have a pullet pictured here for which I would like some opinions from you with a good eye for rocks. She hatched in March and we are planning to enter her in the County Fair next week, which might be a bit early for her, but she is bigger than my other hatchery grade hens already.
She has a couple black feathers (pluck , pluck)
Thanks Andy

Here is my Stukel boy. He was the only success I had in hatching some shipped eggs. He is going to be a monster. He hatched in Feb. and is the slowest maturing rooster I have ever raised. Every single feather on his body is barred. All the way down to the tiniest of tiny feather. I would really like to get more eggs to get a girl to breed with him. I have a standard barred rock hen that I will breed with him to see what I get.....if he ever matures. He isn't even crowing yet. Here is the hen I kept from my breeding group I sold. She had the sharpest bars of all of them. I am hoping for crisper bars when she molts this fall. This will be her first molt.

If it were me, while you're waiting for the cockerel to mature, why not pick up a true bred bird or two to put under him? Just a thought.

I don't understand what you mean? I plan on having a couple girls waiting for him when he is ready....if that is what you mean.
