H
he is pristine how is his demeanor ?

He is very gentle to the hens. Very kind to the other fowl, as well. Just aggressive towards me.

@Azer - I definitely agree that you have a roo and a hen. Mine are now going on 10 weeks, three roos and one hen. The roos are challenging each other and even growing tail feathers already - pretty much confirming what I already knew. The differences were very clear at 7 weeks and even before that. Just like your pictures show, the roos had bright red wattles starting very early, and larger combs that were a bit redder than the pullet. They've now far outgrown my little pullet, but she seems to be developing a bit slow.

This is my Blue Jersey Giant cock, Jersey. He weighs 15 lbs. and is 29 inches when he stands. Not the friendliest guy, surprisingly.

Nice cock you have there!

I hatched 10 as babies you could tell a little the roos feathers come out faster then the pullets. I sold 7 i kept 2 I'm glad I chose these two...

I hope I'm right lol I think the roo is the one on the right with the red comb and wattle. He's also protecting the girls like the dominant rooster...

You are correct, 1 pullet 1 roo
