Andalusian Rooster- Looks too skinny to eat? Too mean for flock

[JackieinYorktown]

He is a terror and I have him separate from the girls. Also crows non stop. So his new name is "dinner". Except he seems awfully scrawny. I have never eaten one of my chickens before soI may not be the best judge.
The boy is now about 11 weeks old.

They are a big rooster and they grow bones first then meat. If you can wait a couple weeks would be better about 17 weeks. I fully understand the whole crowing thing. I'm not a fan of alot of noise in the morning even worse is an all day crower. It takes all my last nerves to go through a growing cycle. I actually almost made it, but I cut a deal with an Amish friend and now most of the annoying roo's are gone.

Agree. It will be the best soup you have had- full of vengence
