IS THIS A ROOSTER?????

comb

hes BIGGER than the others that are his age, they were the same size when I bought them on 3/26/10. they are 3 weeks old today

he has less feathers than the the others that are his age


PIC FROM 3/26/10 --- the day i bought them (hes the light yellow one in the middle)

 

[gocrow77]

I would have to say yes, that's a likely roo.....

 

[Chickiemama1010]

thats a boy. By 3wks age he's probably starting to sproyt hackle feathers on the back of his neck that the others dont have.

 

[ranchhand]

Very likely a roo, but what breed? Is that a meat bird? They grow really fast.

 

[usschicago1]

If that was any other breed id say YES..but thats a cornish X...and i have no experience with them ....

 

[redrocketrooster]

Hmm. I would say a roo cornish x. That my friend is a meat bird.

 

[alabamachick]

My Cornish X pullets looked JUST like him at that age. They Grow SOOOOO fast. But the absence of his tail really feathering might mean roo.

 

[Mervin]

Count me for roo too

 

[4CiTyCHicHENs]

HAHA!! Yea, the store had Cornish X but my receipt sooo didnt say that!! LOL THANK YOU EVERYONE!! Any one in MO & want him? I can have roosters in my city....

If you want to raise your own meat, just process him yourself, he'll be ready in a few weeks. He'll most likely kick the bucket before he starts crowing. Those poor things aren't meant to hang around too long.
