What sex is this it's a Cornish rock approx 7 weeks of age I'm learnin toward rooster with all the red in the comb and his comb is much bigger than the other rocks h

is age

If that is really a Cornish rock/Cornish X, it is not 7 weeks old. It does look like a rooster.

He is much bigger in person u can't hold him with one hand he's approx 2lbs or more

 

[my sunwolf]

That's just very, very small for a Cornish X at that age. I usually have 3-4lbs live weight on the smallest chicks at 7 weeks.

That bird does look like a rooster.

I'm confused on what you have--that's not the Cornish cross meat bird, unless you've been almost starving it. Cornish cross at 7 weeks are basically ready to butcher. You may have a white Rock, but the leg color is off. Where did you get your birds?

Three weeks old, max. Cockerel. If that's 7 wks it has "failure to thrive".

I got 3 of them from TSC. The age could be off they said they were bout 3 weeks old when we got them and they had gotten them in an hour before so I'm guessin they lied bout age

 

[my sunwolf]

That's probably what happened, usually the chicks at TSC are under 1 week old.

 

[donrae]

Yeah...no way TSC is going to get 3 week old chicks. So, however long you've had it is how old it is.

I've had these roughly 3-4 weeks
