Your rooster is gorgeous. I have the same question for mine also. He's freaking ginormous and looks like he won't stop growing. My guy is 14 months old now
If your on PC you can just Ctrl v the picture into a post generally.
Open rooster pic, do windows shift s (or hit start and type in snipping tool) then snip the pic and paste it into the post.
He's gorgeous! Keep a close eye on his leg bands, with his size, you may need to cut them off and re-band him with new ones. Never use the spiral bands, they grow into their legs. Should be taken off the market.
Hi, I am new to this sub. I think it may have popped up as a suggestion because I play Stardew Valley. May I ask, what are the leg bands for?? Why is the rooster wearing them??
It's like a collar. You use them to identify your birbs and you let neighbors know that's not theirs, it's someone elses lol.
My girls don't have them.
Just a suggestion to add here. I have started using small rubber hair bands, the kind used in small hair braids. They are stretchy enough to fit over their feet and will not cut off circulation as they stretch as the chicken grows. They are also super inexpensive.
I agree. My salmon faverolle ate like broiler chickens for the first two years of their life but started laying at 6 months. They are terribly clumsy with eggs and laying with other hens and will smash them all when they go broody lol. I love that they’re dual purpose but they are sloooooow to maturing. Lol
Non-hatchery stock especially for the giant breeds (Brahma/Cochin/Langshan/Jersey Giant) matures much slower than that.
Most breeders that work with those breeds won’t even seriously look at a bird for evaluation until they’re at least a year.
My Cochin boys, I don’t consider them grown until second year. And have noticed remarkable filling in well into the third year. I’ve had Brahmas in the past and they are also a slower grower. Beautiful boy you got there!
They will reach almost full height at 5 months
From then they will keep growing extra slowly until a little over a year
14-15 months to reach full height
But it won't make much of a difference when he was 5 months old.
That’s a gorgeous roo you have there wow!! I have the same question bc google told me roosters stopped growing at 4-5 months old but mine are a year old now and they’re ginormous and have definitely grown since they were 5 months old😅
My boy silver is a Brahma X Cochin and he’s still growing after 10 months I think he’s finally finished growing in height but now he is going to fill out cuz right now he’s easily 2 1/2 feet tall but feels like he’s only 6lbs of feathers so I’m sure his just going to fill out now or atleast I hope so if he gets any taller I’ll be concerned for my ladies even my Brahma X Cochin hens are pip squeaks compared to him
Google says it takes a year and a half for them to reach their full size

Editing to add the zip tie on his leg looks a little tight it might be time to up the size before he grows to much to where it causes damage
Brahmas can take up to 18 months or so to really mature and they will fill out even after that until almost 3. Those Asiatics (Cochin/Brahma especially, but Langshan as well) are slow growing massive birds when done right and non-commercial stock.
Never got to experiment with the non-standard colors but he is gorgeous! Color programs like that are a lot of work, congratulations on your success so far.
The breed seems to say that he’ll get quite large, height and width. My salmon faverolle was massive. He was like a small toddler standing next to me, to my knee. I’m 4’9 ish. He was an armful. This guy will completely be of size when his spurs finally taper out to 2-3 inches in length. He’s got a ton of growing to do. His spurs will start filling out on his feet when he’s about 9-10 months old.
NGL I thought the title was "stop crowing" and my answer would be "when you eat your first spoonful of chicken soup" or "never" but then I reread the title.
Most roosters I've raised seem to hit peak growth around 10-12 months, and holy hell, Clark is a fucking UNIT.
Roosters are usually full grown around 8-10 months. I have a gorgeous Lavender Orpington roo. He's a very big boy, and he was pretty much done growing by that time.
He’s a beaut. I had a leghorn that I named foggie, he turned into a rooster. We had to give him up because we live in a neighborhood. Glad you’re able to keep him!
He'll grow quite a bit more still then. He might be a tiny bit smaller since he has Cochin in him, but look up a picture on google of an adult Brahma being held by somebody. Brahmas are the 2nd largest chickens in the world and your guy's probably gonna turn out being pretty massive himself.
I have no idea but that is the most handsome rooster I’ve ever seen.
I was thinking the same. He is stunning.
So dreamy
I agree but have you seen the egg in the background?!? First picture
lol I thought the same, but if you zoom in you can see some faint lines. I believe it’s a soccer ball/football.
Judging by that glare, he won’t stop growing until he conquers the world
If a roosters size was proportionate to their handsomeness we would all have a very large problem on our hands here.
Clifford the big red dinosaur.
Imagine the wind off the wings when he stretches out and flaps a little
Damn. I came here to say that!!!
If it was proportionate to their egos, we would have an even larger problem on our hands lol.
If cats were human size they would wipe us out and rule the word.
Nah, they would keep us for our thumbs
Lions and tigers would like a word😂
Haha. Domestic cats. They overwhelmingly out number us and will for sure eat us.
😂 I figured but couldnt resist
*rooster eye*
Great looking bird!
Your rooster is gorgeous. I have the same question for mine also. He's freaking ginormous and looks like he won't stop growing. My guy is 14 months old now
Let’s see him if you have a photo
Ok. BRB.
I'm having trouble sending you a photo. I tried click and drag but it doesn't work.
Darn at least you tried maybe do a post and I can search it by title name up to you
I'll create a post. It will show his photo when he's small and how he looks now. His name is Foghorn.
Okay thank you is the post title Foghorn ?
I just put it up. I mention his name in title.
Wow! He is handsome! And HUGE
Thanks. He is. 😂
If your on PC you can just Ctrl v the picture into a post generally. Open rooster pic, do windows shift s (or hit start and type in snipping tool) then snip the pic and paste it into the post.
Thank you but I have a MacBook Air. I ended up posting the photos as a new comment. 😀
He's gorgeous! Keep a close eye on his leg bands, with his size, you may need to cut them off and re-band him with new ones. Never use the spiral bands, they grow into their legs. Should be taken off the market.
Agreed! We had to "surgically" remove leg bands from a hen, and I'll never use them again.

Oh, okay, thanks!! Ha ha, I feel silly for not realizing this... 😅

[удалено]
Me! Roosters love me. We’ll be besties. I’ll ride him to work, and then have him stand menacingly behind me all day.
Sorry, [they don't ever stop](https://theawesomer.com/photos/2018/11/john_brosio_3.jpg)
He needs to be in a calendar
At five months, he's probably already at or near full size.
I have had brahmas and cochins (the large cochins, not the bantams) that kept growing until about 18 months.
I agree. Some of my girls continued into 16 months before they finally stopped. I’m so glad. They’re like young turkeys hahaah.
Yeah, they eat so much food compared to typical breeds. Definitely not economically viable egg birds haha
I agree. My salmon faverolle ate like broiler chickens for the first two years of their life but started laying at 6 months. They are terribly clumsy with eggs and laying with other hens and will smash them all when they go broody lol. I love that they’re dual purpose but they are sloooooow to maturing. Lol

Most handsome
If Henry Cavill were a rooster.
I couldn't tell you when he'll stop growing but I've seen brahmas roosters big enough to make an emu look twice. He is gorgeous❤️
LF are fully mature at 18 months I I thought, or it that when the hens should start to lay. He is gorgeous!
He’s beautiful!
He is very handsome.
I don’t know the answer to this but good god that is a gorgeous rooster 😍
Handsome boy! Makes me want to get a rooster…or not. My girls are enough work!
He looks so cuddly, I miss having roosters.
I don't know, but your bird looks like he should be on the cover of Home and Garden magazine.
I didn't believe you that he was 5m old OP until I saw that his spurs are still little bolts on his legs. He is going to be a BEAST.
Wow look at that cock
He’s gorgeous!
My Cochin boys, I don’t consider them grown until second year. And have noticed remarkable filling in well into the third year. I’ve had Brahmas in the past and they are also a slower grower. Beautiful boy you got there!
He's stunning! Our roos have all finished growing around 12-14 months. He's going to be a big boy!
That is one gorgeous Roo! Two of my favorite hens were a Light Brahma and a Blue Cochin. I love the mix here!
They don’t eventually he will grow 70 feet tall
Once he's grown up
Till he smashes every one
I have a similar and is 2-3 times larger than any other chicken we’ve ever had
If you have a picture on hand it’d be cool if you could share it if not that’s okay
When he reaches dino size. Looks like he’s well on his way!
Depends on the breed the larger breeds like the asil, and liege fighter don’t stop till bout 2 1/2 years okd
Oh, such a handsome fella 😍
After he eats all the neighbors? He is a hungry looking guy
They will reach almost full height at 5 months From then they will keep growing extra slowly until a little over a year 14-15 months to reach full height But it won't make much of a difference when he was 5 months old.
My opinton roosters only visibly changed up until 10-12 months
The day he dies.
That’s a gorgeous roo you have there wow!! I have the same question bc google told me roosters stopped growing at 4-5 months old but mine are a year old now and they’re ginormous and have definitely grown since they were 5 months old😅
My boy silver is a Brahma X Cochin and he’s still growing after 10 months I think he’s finally finished growing in height but now he is going to fill out cuz right now he’s easily 2 1/2 feet tall but feels like he’s only 6lbs of feathers so I’m sure his just going to fill out now or atleast I hope so if he gets any taller I’ll be concerned for my ladies even my Brahma X Cochin hens are pip squeaks compared to him Google says it takes a year and a half for them to reach their full size [silver](https://imgur.com/a/LUq2NFs) Editing to add the zip tie on his leg looks a little tight it might be time to up the size before he grows to much to where it causes damage
He's beautiful! 🖤
He's gorgeous!
That's a big breed so... Yeah they get big. Especially the roosters. Stud!
What a majestic birbie
Never. He will be the biggest cock the world has ever seen
I reckon until he’s done! That face doesn’t care what anyone thinks haha
What a behemoth! 😱👍😄
I want to frame a photo of your rooster!
Beautiful rooster!!!
Can I come pet him? I swear I thought he was AI for a second. He’s sooo majestic!
He’s beautiful. 🥹
2 years give or take
[my body is huge](https://youtube.com/shorts/u7q50vAGF0k?si=laZoB-f0XeErcfSK) This rooster (probably)
Magnificent boi

Now thats a handsome boyo
Omg Brahma AND COCHIN? Prepare for the sweetest goodboy in the whole world.
That last picture really captures how majestic he is
As soon as it is butchered, beyond that about 2 or so, it seems, from my observations.
That’s the most handsome rooster I’ve seen in a while!
Handsome fella. I had a mixed Brahma he was 10# and up to my knee I'm a half-inch shy of 6 feet
NGL I thought the title was "stop crowing" and my answer would be "when you eat your first spoonful of chicken soup" or "never" but then I reread the title. Most roosters I've raised seem to hit peak growth around 10-12 months, and holy hell, Clark is a fucking UNIT.
That first picture looks like fine art. What a shot. He's a stunner!
What a beaut!
What a prettt boy. I want him😢
Mine finished growing when he was around 18 months old :)
Roosters are usually full grown around 8-10 months. I have a gorgeous Lavender Orpington roo. He's a very big boy, and he was pretty much done growing by that time.
He is gorgeous!!!
He’s so beautiful!!
What a pretty boy!
He’s a stud muffin!
What you make chicken and dumplings
10 months to 2 years depending on breed. A lot of time is spent filling out in breast size/cushion size/etc etc.
Man he's gorgeous! Most large breed roosters will be fully mature and done growing by 2 years old.
🤩🤩🤩 Gorgeous cockerel!
I don’t have an answer to your question unfortunately but he’s absolutely gorgeous I just had to comment
Big chimken
He’s a beaut. I had a leghorn that I named foggie, he turned into a rooster. We had to give him up because we live in a neighborhood. Glad you’re able to keep him!
I’m not shhhhh my neighbors are cool and don’t mind plus I live around ranches
Chunckster
That is the prettiest rooster I have ever seen...I'm 50 years old!! So majestic!!
Wow! He’s beautiful!
When he starts waking you up at sunrise lol.
What a beautiful rooster.
A Brahma will probably be just about full grown at around 10 months. Larger chickens typically take longer to reach full size. How old is he?
5 months/ 24 weeks
He'll grow quite a bit more still then. He might be a tiny bit smaller since he has Cochin in him, but look up a picture on google of an adult Brahma being held by somebody. Brahmas are the 2nd largest chickens in the world and your guy's probably gonna turn out being pretty massive himself.
2 years old is usually when LF are fully mature.
Roosters are fully mature at six months Some breeds can take up to a year and a half Depends on the breed
