New chicken owner

[Gallina08]

Hi everyone! I bought 9 hens about 3 months ago. I have no previous experience with chickens so I have some questions for you all. Supposedly all the chickens I got were supposed to be hens at the tractor supply and I finally got some brains and figured out 2 months later that one of my “hens” just had to be a rooster. I looked online and it said sometimes hens could crow . Well this rooster (Sunny) got much bigger than the others. I don’t know if he just took over and ate up most the food or what. I had no intention on killing any of them but the poor guy hurt his leg just from running and he couldn’t walk. So I called up my sister in law from Honduras and had her cook him was he not extremely huge?

No, I don’t know what breed he was.

No, I don’t know what breed he was.

Are you able to see the picture attachments?

 

[Gearhead846]

I'm guessing he was a white leghorn and do you his weight approximately

Are you able to see the picture attachments?

Yes. And have you ever weighed him

 

[Gallina08]

Yes, after he hurt his leg I put him on the scale and from what I could see he was about 19 pounds.

Were you feeding a lot of treats such as corn and things like that?

I think that you ended up a Cornish X meat bird.

That’s what I guessed from google searching. I put him on my scale after he hurt his leg and from what I could see under him he was about 19 pounds.
