YAll!
Spencer is getting big. Hoping he finishes molting by Jan 8 so I can take him to the show he’s entered in. I’m taking about 15 birds.

He’s about the same size is an eight-month-old turkey in, but he only weighs about 8 1/2 or 9 pounds. He’s just a big old dude. Still has a few months to grow also .

GETTING big?? Given the picture I'm surprised he doesn't weigh more. But if he isn't fully mature yet, he will get heavier ... and BIGGER?!?!

Spencer and a standard hen in my left arm. She weighs about 3.5lbs. Chickens aren’t as heavy as they look. It’s allllll feathers.
I need to get pictures of his ladies. They’re huge compared to the other hens.
Spencer is my prized boy, out of exhibition birds.
I need to get pictures of him on my camera.
Also. Please don’t hold chickens like I’m holding him for long periods. Where I have my fingers is not in a good place and it could strangle them. I moved my hands after the picture but chickens of his size are easily choked. Make sure you’re on the bone when holding them for proper support.

There are cougars in those east Texas piney woods. Years ago, I was camping on Lake Livingston with my dog Freckles and a cougar lit up and started screaming, too close for comfort. I had my bedroll in the back of my truck and poor Freckles nearly clawed the paint off the truck getting in the truck with me. She ducked under my sleeping bag and shook. LOL
They are out there....

True, especially up here in the winter. My little Cubalayas were as "big" in the winter as a standard fowl in the summer.
