Hello, fine people!
Good much too early morning to everyone!
Just popped in to show my fat cockrel to Shaddy,.
Him being a roosterist and all I thought he might appreciate his fine form.

Ffs Chickassan, what have you been feeding him?
Dobie Lover has got one that looks like that but somewhat slimmer.

A little of this a little of that lol!
He's short too.so that adds to his circumference.
Kicker, he's just a wee lad, a boy of only 7 months.
And ohhh yes i'm familiar with Miss Dobie's guy Fabio, I talked her into keeping him!
She hasn't seen this round guy, I sung the praises of chunky's much slimmer father to make Fabio shine

See dad is still in good shape.
Seriously no clue on that cockrel, maybe it is glandular.

I'm constantly amazed by the differences in stature and weight between the chickens I see here and those on the pages of BYC.
I think I've got four new males in this years hatchings. I can cope with one new male in one tribe. I'm trying to save up to build another coop. In theory, once completed, I could cope with ten males and keep them housed. I expect I'll have a couple of males living in the trees later this year. I don't mind this but others in the main house complain about the early morning crowing. If I can get them to use the roosting tree outside my house I might get away with it.
I'm so used to the crowing, it doesn't disturb my sleep anymore.

You probably have thin lightweight chickens right?
Fast chickens, not lumps with feet like mine.
In my defense I have some skinnies too, just to balance out the one morbidly obese cockrel.
Even odder, fat cockrel's mother is my smallest hen and I kept him initally because he was a runt.
Never will understand those that complain about crowing.
To me that would be akin to gripeing about blinking or or poop flies.
It is going to happen, enjoy it or ignore it choose one.

I love a rooster's crowing. Less enamoured of their attitude so I enjoy them vicariously.
