7-mos Partridge Cochin cockerel

[WindyRoost]

We have a seven-month-old partridge Cochin rooster in need of rehoming. I purchased him as a chick at Wilco, hoping for a pullet, and have considered keeping him but we simply don’t have the room in our hen house. This rooster is big and only growing! We call him Percheron. He’s still very much a teenager, needs plenty of room (tho not much of a forager) and would probably do best with other larger breed hens.
The second picture is with our Silver Wyandotte pullets off the same age.

Sorry I can’t help with re homing, but I don’t think the cockerel in the pictures is a cochin unfortunately I don’t know what breed he could be

Thank you, good to know. He was a feed store purchase so I’m not surprised.

He is a cochin, just a hatchery quality one.

Do they really end up with no feathered legs

I spy feathers on his right leg at least.

I think you might be right, I thought that was his left leg and that was just a shadow on it.

 

[GravityWaves]

It does look like the left leg has fewer feathers, though.

 

[RoostersAreAwesome]

Both his legs look to be feathered, though lightly.
