12 weeks old.

My sweetest Roo. He is a hair smaller than the other two and his comb is smaller, really hoping he ends up being typy.

Here is his fluffy posterior.

Some of the girls..

Julie, you are going to love those big buffs..they are real sweet peas..and the rooster I have here has a chest that is about 2 and 1/2 ft wide..just as nice as he is big..and the color is so wonderful..I put a yardstick on the gate to take a pic of the front end of him , but it has been pouring down rain..

That blue rooster just glows with health

 

[Kiniska]

Wow. 2 1/2 feet wide. That is amazing!

Julie,

So glad you got some Buffs ! They will make a pretty picture ranging with your blacks and blues. That little splash is a cutie too !

not kidding either..I put the yardstick out there on the gate just to see exactly how wide that big guy was...it just seemed like all of a sudden he really bloomed so I wanted to see just how wide he was...I have company all weekend but will take pics monday of him in front of the yardstick...plus its raining...I couldnt beleive it myself..give or take an inch or 2 because he was moving around ....

Did you weigh him yet. My 13 # rooster doesn't even have a chest of 1 1/2 feet wide. You may have a record there for the Guinness book.
