No, never did figure out his breed. They eat scratch, free range, and enjoy a lot of kitchen left-overs during the school year. Tomorrow they will be dining on left-over ham and cheese sandwiches,, today they had apples, salad, and jicama.
Nugget's bf Tux and his GF Woo mourned him for quite a long time. Tux was handicapped, he had a broken neck and his head was on almost backwards. Woo and Nugget hatched together and I thought Woo was the roo and Nugget the hen but turned out the opposite which was bad because Woo is a tiny little barred Turken that Nugget could never mate with. He was very faithful to her until right before he died, he finally found a hen or two big enough to deal with him for a quick mating. He accidently killed one hen by standing on her and I found him with her body, he guarded it until I took it. He was a very special roo,, little kids loved to visit the roo that was as tall as them and get their pictures taken, they liked to feed him, pat him,, he was a gentle giant. Tanker is very gentle but so ungainly, and I've never once seen him try and mate, I don't have a hen near big enough for him. Coby is very active with the ladies and they just love him. I have a baby we hatched in class I'm pretty sure is his because of the coloring, it doesn't match Blue Roo but has reddish flecks like Coby does.
The group he slept with missed him for a long time and they would sleep around the milk crate he slept in so I finally moved it to get them to move on. They stay in their group though, just like they did when he was with them.
