I am wiping the tears of laughter! saw the other pics, too. He is the C-17 of the roo world!

I am still amazed at how docile Nugget is. I have 2 RIR roos who are very aggressive. As soon as I get as many Sexlinks as I need out of him and my BR girls, they'll be moving from Roosters to Roasters.

I don't know what he weighs right now, I'm going to try and weigh him next weekend maybe. I'm going to borrow a hanging scale and see if I can get a pic of him in it. We measured his chest today and it's about 30 inches around but part of that is feathers and Steven was trying to hold him so he was squished kind of funny. I'm curious because it seems like his breast area has gotten bigger recently, he's really thick up there.

Your cat is too funny. Pudster is like "Don't even try it!"

Puddy will fight any of the others for his food, but he won't fight Nugget. He just hopes Nugget decides it's something he doesn't want. I feed Puddy Man after the birds have gone to roost, Nugget was doing his last rounds I guess right then I somehow missed His Highness, or I never would have put Puddy in danger.

Maybe Nugget's docility is related to the grill just off to the side there?

And my dad complains about my roo going after him... He would poop his pants if Nugget went after him LOL

Quote:
If Nugget ever turned violent I would have to put him down or find him a home that didn't treat chickens as pets and would not be in the same area as him, but I doubt I could do that. He is so big and his spurs are so think they look like small tree limbs. His feet are bigger than my hands and his spurs thicker than my thumbs.

I found a note that said Nugget hatched on Feb 28 on last years calendar. There was a larger gold chick that hatched that had a problem with it's rear end and was handled a whole lot, held constantly and I think it's the Nuggetron. Woo was hatched on Feb 17th so it would be the right time. These are the Nuggetron's baby pics! I had posted about his rear-end issue, but obviously it has caused no lasting problems.

The issue he was born with

Awwwwww, poor little Nuggies!

I reckon he got over it! And then some.

He's the Sam Elliot of the chicken world- rough and tough, yet gentlemanly and courteous, etc, etc, ad nauseum!
