help with breed/sex?

ok I know he is probably not JG, i was just hopeing with all my might he was then i could hatch my jersey eggs!!
but do white rock roo's get that big????
 
White Rocks are big.Standart call for 9 lb roos but they can gett 10-11.Meet crosses are broilers who grow verry fast and biger.If the roo is helty and you are not selling pure breed eggs I do not see reson why not breeding him to JG girls

How lazy is the rooster? Do your chickens have access to their food all day long? If so, does your rooster eat a lot more than the other chickens? Does it roost with the other chickens or sleep on the ground? It looks like a cornish X to me in the first two pics and then more like a white rock in the 3rd one.

This is one big rooster:

well I have a bit of a mixed flock JG,RIR,EE, Leghorns, but i had not gotten a roo yet cause i was thinking of selling pure eggs but i didnt know which breed to go with, i hadn't gotten that far in the thought process yet, and now i got a roo that i dont have any hens for. which is disappointing. Hes been pretty good just skitish, but this morning i noticed my 2 year old was out picking up the hens and carrying them around like usual and he actually charged him, followed him, and fluffed up at him, but did not peck. that was the first time i had seen him do that.

he's not that lazy he just follows his leghorns around, ya they have food all day,but it was layer and grower feed and they rage during the day, and they get treats daily but actually i never see him eating he always get driven away by my older girls(they pick on him alot) oviously he eats but i rarely see him eat. and he roost with the other chickens, never on the gound​
 
A cornish crossed bird wouldn't be far from the feeder and wouldn't go up to roost, when there's free food available the do not forage. Looks like a large white Rock is your best bet.
 
huh i didnt know that about cornish X, so he is probably a white rock then? he doesnt even really forage he just follows the girls around like a lost puppy, and when i hand out treats he'll come running but doesnt really put up a fight to get any, if i throw it to him hell eat alittle but he wont steal it from my girls.
