He is stunning! Wish I did not live half a world away he would be mine!

Now that he has had some practice, his voice is really quite nice. I enjoy hearing him crow. He sounds like a Rooster should sound.

Now, if I can rmember how to post fotos...

Here are 3 pictures of Madison. I am sorry that they do not show his size and color any better, but with my little camera this is the best I can do. I hope Pinkchick gets some holding pens made so she can get some of these Roos back from me.

He is a looker! as a side question, is his beak short? it looks odd particularly in that last photo!
Just curious

Too Cute!

Here's my guesses on gender.....
#1 leaning toward pullet
#2 leaning toward pullet but the first photo with that little comb sure says roo.

#3 cockerel
#1 Wheaten- pullet
#2 Wheaten-cockerel

Hi Sib! LOL! All 3 photos make him look like he has a short beak but it is not....it's a good length but it's under that GINORMOUS COMB!

His dad and his brother look the same way.

If Pinkchick wants to borrow him for breeding, that's certainly not a problem. All she has to do is let me know so I can grab him off his roost & put him in a pet carrier. (The cage I used this last weekend would be too small).
