He will have to keep quiet then... he may look big, but at the minute he is all feather and no meat!

I had difficulty fattening mine up last autumn as the weather was so cold, hopefully with the time of year he will fatten up well and be a nice weight by about 20 weeks (mine crowed at about 20 weeks - late starters!). I did rehome one though as they were such docile birds with humans and would jump on my shoulders and preen me  ::)
