How big will he get

[Mixedcat13298]

This is my 12 week roo he is about maybe at the least 7 pounds stands from feet to shoulder almost two feet
How big do you think he might get
Also he is super quiet and nice with the biggest comb I have ever seen
Siblings were red sex links and white leghorns
Also all the pullets are the same age or four weeks older execpt for the ophtingtons

Oh my goodness, he's huge! Seeing as he 12 weeks old, he probably won't get too much bigger. I would imagine when he is fully grown he'll be about the size of an adult jersey giant rooster. In fact, he looks just like a jersey giant except for the fact the his legs are pale yellow instead of dark grey.

 

[Mixedcat13298]

Yeah that's what confused me his legs were dark grey like 3 weeks old and have no yellowed

 

[Table4Six]

Yes, that would be very confusing. Where did you get him? And do you know his specific breed or are you thinking he's a mix?

He should be a pretty good deterrent against predators, or at least he'd deter me.

He is a wimp he crows for me to fix things for him and chase off squirrels lol

 

[Table4Six]

My ducks and chickens chase squirrels too, lol. So you don't know his breed or if he is a mix.

Well it's better that he is a sweety & coward than flooging people . His size alone will probably give some predators a second thought. He could be a Jersey Giant mix, or hatchery grade bird.

Yeah Definitely loves his treats and understands that my kids are top dogs my 3 year old is the only one who can catch him fast when free range also gives his food up to my son when he wants the lettuce back to share with the others and he only crows for food or danger so far hopefully he stays that way so we can keep him
