Lisa, yep, the butt and stance really look rooish to me, too. I'm still fostering hope, though. Until he actually crows, I guess I can be a little delusional.
Sphinx, yeah, I can definitely see some RIR/PR in this guy. I think someone pulled an oops and snuck into the pen when the owner wasn't looking. After all, all it takes is one go, and that hen's good for two weeks. It's interesting, though - I have always heard that male RIR's can be aggressive and nasty, even to the point of killing intruding dogs. This guy is pretty agreeable. He's not a wuss by any stretch, but he doesn't have beans for a brain, unlike one of his brothers...........*cough*
