MASSIVE rooster

[TinyRaptorDodos]

Just measured my new rooster… he’s 1ft 11inches tall I’m hoping he’s gentle my girls are average sized.

This is Hugh Jackman, my new Salmon Faverolles roo over Cuckoo Maran hen… he’s sweet and an amazing guard but it’s all up to if he’s gentle and if he gets along with my bantam rooster(so far, no- but at least I got the size comparison photos I was trying to get he’s back in the brooder/integration pen now. Also don’t worry, their water is clean. It’s just the reflection and supplements adding a yellow tint to it)

EDIT; he weighed in at 9lbs

He’s so big! He reminds of my first rooster knight that I had to give away! Since knight wasn’t even a year old I bet he’s even bigger now! In the second to last picture is that a normal sized feeder? because if it is he is really really big!

I think it’s normal? Here’s my hand for reference. My hands abt 5 inches long.

He’s so handsome!! I love Brahmas

I released him and put Lazzy in the brooder (Lazzy is my silkie Cochin roo, short for Laguez) because he’s being a little snot and Hugh is definitely a better guard. So far he hasn’t even tried to mount a hen so I trust he will be gentle with them! (The hens are Rat my salmon faverolle and Chicklynn my Swedish flower)

@TinyRaptorDodos
Aww. I love big snuggly roosters. I hope he's super gentle for ya!

@Farmgirl283420 your boy reminds me of my Willow. He just turned a year old, but for comparison that green garden post next to him is 3.5 ft tall. He's a giant snuggle marshmallow Even though he's growling at the Cooper hawk on the fence in the picture.

I haven’t gotten to weighing him yet! I’m about to go grab the scale to, I’m guessing around 8-10lbs based off how tired my arm gets after carrying him for just a few minutes

 

[TinyRaptorDodos]

He is exactly 9lbs
