RIR (I think)... 12 weeks - Hen or Roo?

[BWchicken]

This chicken (RIR I think) is 12 weeks old and is kind of mean - he/she chases the smaller bantams and is now "mating" constantly with my larger white chicken (who has a bad leg). Is this a hen or roo?

While we're at it, can you tell me the gender (and breed?) of this 12 week old? It's huge and is the one the RIR keeps "mating" with. BTW we have seen a vet about the leg issue (but that's a whole other story), but he wasn't sure of gender or breed.

Agreed and the leg issue won't get better. Cornish rocks are meat chickens and grow too fast for their legs to keep up.

I've heard about the cornish being so large their legs can't support them. Hope you have thought about what to do with these fine young roosters!

Both roos and the cornishX is ready to be dinner. Nothing better than home a grown chicken dinner.
