breeding project takes giant leap forward :)

[KatyTheChickenLady]

Check out my new big boy. The pics don't do him justice, that's a full size straw bale he is next to though.
Completely solid, that's not fluff your looking at, I haven't weighed him yet because he doesn't fit in the bucket but I'm guessing right around 16 or 17 lbs.
sooo . . . care to take a guess at the cross CX X ?

" giant leap forward " describes it well . Pea comb ? How do you get a black tailed , red roo out of a white CX ??????????
Looks a little like a Brahma cross just because of the heavy , upright body but the head reminds me of Saipan so ???????????
Congrats , where in the world did you find that thing ?
You'll need a steel apron with built in jackstands for that poor little pullet looking at him

What age are we talking about here? And what did he look like in #'s in the 10-week period?

Is that an amercauna hen?

Hes a big boy...

no clue on the breeds, maybe a phoenix with a jersey giant and something else....but he's one big boy!

I guess buff brahma

Wait, I'm confused, is this the result of one of your CX crosses, or a new roo you're planning to cross with your CXs?

I'm also really curious about his lineage, I mean, yeesh, he could pull a cart.

we could end World hunger with a bird that big!

His color reminds me of a New Hampshire red X Jersey Giant for size? Beautiful color!
