Very true Steve. And good to see someone else from the great state of Illinois

Gosh you guys, Im so torn as to what to do with this bird. I dont want to give it up so that someone can make food out of it, but yet I dont want to keep it, limit its food and ultimately have it suffer. I get to go to work now and think about it all day while trying to get my work done. Have...

That I do and will

OSU, I have no idea. The " owner" said about a month old but not sure that was correct.

Ty Itsy. I have had about half of the people that have answered say hens and half roosters lol. Looking at the picture with the little knowledge I have, I would have to agree with rooster. But then with the, again, little knowledge I have about feathering, I would go with hen....

Thanks guys. I was reading that they dont usually live very long I was outside with this bird last night and it sits right up against me unlike my other birds. It would figure this will either be a bird that I cant keep, or a bird that doesnt live very long <sigh>.

I like your thinking Brandon lol. But I dont know. Seems more people are saying rooster.

I'm thinking you guys have it on that whole CornishX thing. This birds feet are HUGE too. But ya really think its a rooster eh?
