Really big rooster.

[Dragonfly2934]

Hi,
Our chickens are all 1 year old now. When we bought them, we enwded up with a roster. He is the same age as the ladies, but he is really big, won't roost- sleeps on the coop floor, waddles from side to side when he walks, and does not run. He doesn't eat a lot, and his wings are so small.

I am wondering if there is something wrong with him or did we accidentally get a meat bird? What breed is he?

I have included pictures.

Where did you get him?

Looks like a Red Ranger or some other similar red broiler. Meat bird.

What his name it should be tiny Tim

I agree, he does look like a red ranger ( meat bird ).

That's my thought also.

We actually named him Big Bird. He loves my husband, but not me or kids, so I was going to change his name to Dinner - which now seems even more appropriate. Lol

We bought him at Tractor Supply.

How long are his spurs? In the pic the look longer then they should at 1 year. Can you post pics if his spurs?

This was a tough picture to get . . He does not like me.
I did purchase him as a chicken along with the girls on March 17th last year.

And his spurs are very big.
