What the heck breed is this??

[Lesler5]

This bird was supposed to be a SLW pullet and I believe it is a roo and definitely not SLW. Any ideas? In this pic it would be about 10-11 weeks old. Now at 14 weeks, it is larger than my RIR hens and has really heavy legs, which is why I think rooster, except it's tail has grown tremendously upwards and does resemble my Australorp hen's tail.
I'm baffled

Hmmm... definitely a dinosaur! I agree that everything about that bird looks pullet except those ginormous legs! Holy chicken god! I have no idea.

do you have other pictures of it??
i want to say cornish but i dont think they breed blue.. and i really dont remeber what it look like as a pullet.

I can try to get more recent pictures...it is hard to photograph. Very camera shy

Yes... Everything but the legs look female... Interesting...

As far as breed, I was thinking Blue Jersey Giant when you said at 14 weeks it's bigger than your RIR. http://www.feathersite.com/Poultry//CGD/BJG/BRKBJGs.html

Immature blue Wyandotte roo. He'll be pretty once he gets out of the dino stage

I didn't know JG came in blue, but that makes sense and when I look it up, there are birds that look identical. If it is indeed a pullet, me thinks I shall need a super sized nesting box!

lol i have a few that are pains and as soon as my phone or bright green camra comes out they run..
and i have two turkeys that want to eat it

OK I didn't think of blue wyandotte, but I thought they had yellow legs?

I would have said that too, but look at the legs. Wyandottes have yellow legs, this bird has blue/slate legs.
