Four month old bantam pullet.

Bantam cockerel.

The ugly and probably highly inbred Cubalaya rooster I found on my local CL has produced a bunch of beautiful children. I figured outbreeding would fix everything

Here's a 6 month old pullet mixed with an AGF hen. Very calm and composed personality

Very pretty blue wheaten color.

Here's a standard cockerel out of my black line. He has a bit of red coming in his hackle and saddle, enough of it at this age that I think he'll be too red to breed back into the blacks. Besides, I now have enough blacks that I don't need to use these leaky ones.
His type is excellent though, so I have determined not to let him go to waste.

What is his weight and how old is he now?

He is exactly five months old and weighs 4 1/2 pounds. He is out of a half brother to the cock you've got and an a dam that has no relation at all to the cock.
