Here's my prettiest bird. It is 3 months old, and is a Buff Orpington/Maran cross (maybe). We got a couple birds from this lady, and she was kinda crazy. She also had Araucanas on the property so who knows what it is... So. Is my hen a roo?





Beefy legs...


These two are the same age.


From the back.


Not sure if this one will help.


And a close up of the tail feathers.

Boo. Thanks. My 5 year old named this one Dinner. Funny how that works out.

Are you allowed to keep Roos? He's stunning!

I live in the country, so I can keep whatever I want. He really is too pretty to eat. So now I have to decide whether to eat the chicken or build him his own little condo. I'm really leaning toward a condo.
