This is George, the gentle giant, and cockerel extraordinaire.
He hatched 2-29 from an egg assortment that mentioned langshans and cochins, but I haven't been able to decide which he may be. Anyone know how I might differentiate? His tail is different from my black langshans and I have no cochin roos to compare with. He's slower growing but already taller and wider than my jersey giant.
Character-wise he is terrified of most of the other chickens and now has a coop that he shares with a few carefully selected laid-back friends. When the run is open and they're all free to roam the grass, he needs to be carried out, otherwise, he watches from the nest box of his coop and will not go out with the others.
He does love to be held and have his neck scratched. He is happy to see me coming and I feel like I'm leaving a toddler at daycare when I leave him with the flock.
I know if anyone knows, it's someone (or a group of someones) on BYC. TIA
