What is this bird?

[medicmandan]

Got it in the "random" bin. It's growing like a weed. Has doubled in size in the week since I've had it. Not a friendly bird either. Doesn't like to be picked up, panics if you get near it. It's at the bottom of the pecking order though. The two RIRs I have peck at him constantly until it gets cold and then they want to snuggle.

Finally got it to take some treats from me and my daughter today though.

I guess we'll have dinner soon then.

It's a meat bird. It will be ready to butcher in about 8 weeks depending on how much feed he gets.

Guess I'm down to two possible hens. Hope they grow up fast so I can get some more.
