My 9 month old male.

He has a great front end. Spot on BUT the back in is a bit weak. Just a bit pinched but the angle is great.
He just placed Reserve Land Fowl at the show this weekend. And now he is in the breeding Pen.

Compared to a Jersey Giant ,,,,fast
Compared to my line of RIR....fast
Compared to egg laying breeds...slower

It will can take 9 month for the males to see what is generally there. and about 28 weeks for the females to start laying ( generally)
