DeWayne, the new owner of that buff cockerel picked him up at my place today. Thought he was very nice!
Thanks for helping that family out. They have two or three buff females to use with him.
DeWayne Edgin:
Glad i could help out Mike. Thanks for the update. :)
Fyremare:
Thanks Mike, John and DeWayne!
He looks cold?? Does that mean you live in a warmer climate than me Mike? LOL! BTW... it's been tooooo darn cold here in Vermont lately, WOW. But I guess the Polar Freeze hit others worse.
I will try to find a way to weigh him. What do people use for that? The old fashioned "get on the scale without the bird and then with the bird"?!
Maybe I will take him to my Dr appot tomorrow.... not. LOL!
I have 8 others to look at in a critical way, and I will want some help learning how to look at the birds in finer detail. I am going to grow out as many as I can handle... some of the pullets have come out nice also. Oddly I only got maybe one cockerel from my own breeding pair, and four pullets. Not bad since the rest of the flock was about 80% male.
Looking forward to Silver chicks from you in the spring John..... Hope things go well during hatching season ;D.
Thanks for the comments,

I use a postage scale that only goes up to ten lbs. I cut a small piece of carpet and attach it to the platform with rubber bands so they don't slip around on the metal surface. It takes a few moments to get them to sit still. I bought a digital scale for that purpose, but my wife confiscated that for her kitchen.
Russ:
postal scales with small carpet here also remember to zero it out the cock he came from weighed 6.5lbs so if he comes close to that i would use him for several years putting him over daughter. Grand daughter etc
