please meet Andre

[nicalandia]

first, I would like to say a big HI to everybody in this forum..my name is marvin and I am from nicaragua, I would like to entroduce Andre my 11 month cockerel, I have him since 6 month old, I don´t know his breed, but upon closer look he looks to be a Malay cross, he is very tall....

the first pic is of the cage, this cage is 25(64cm) inches tall, I builded it thinking all my birds will fit fine in it, as you will see some do and some don´t..

in this pic I am inside the cage, as you can see the cage top is way above my knees..I am 5 feet and 9 inches tall(175cm)..


ok this is the pic of Andre, in this pic he has his normal posture, can you see the redish shanks?? I have no clue as to why he has them..do you?


now in this pic you can see just how tall he is, he is looking outside of the cage, he is very tame.


side view of him


ok now the pics of my broiler sire cockerel he is 5 month ol tomorrow

you can´t see just how tall he is,because he has not adopted a rooster posture yet(he is young)

in this pic you can see he is streching more, he is about 8 pounds..


in this pic I had to put his food infront of him so he could strech his max..


now a pic of a 6 pound large native rooster I had, just so you can see the difference..

That is one humugo roo.

 

[SunnyChic]

Wow! He is so big ( and handsome!). Thanks for sharing pics of your roosters and

 

[Dragonfly Ranch]

and what a giant roo!

 

[nicalandia]

here is a pic of him at 6 month old when I first got him, it was given to me by old friends..the table is 30 inch tall...you saw the Broiler sire? well he is very tall too, but what I like most about him is his weight...here is my plan: Giant roo x Sire broiler Hen use the tallest hen and cross it back to the Sire broiler rooster, repeat the prosses, till I get REAL TALL AND REAL BIG chickens...wish me luck
