Langshan Thread!!!

Can anyone confirm that this is a Langshan? It was my free "rare bird" from McMurry. I thought it was a rooster because the comb is so defined, but at 4 months old, I see no tail feathers and one of my other Hens turned out to be a Henry and has been very vocal this week while this one has not at all. Also, even though bigger than everyone else, it still get bossed around and its poor feet feather are always a temptation for plucking by the other chickens!

Looks like a hatchery (duh you said Murray McMurray) Langshan to me. Definitely a cockerel, and they're always slow to grow the tail feathers.

Hi everyone. I was wondering if anyone had enough Langshan experience to look at a few birds for me. Thank you

He's missing some of his tail from a dog attack :/

How odd that I had to use Google to find this thread.  The search function wouldn't find it for me...weird.



Anyway, got some updated pics of Clyde.  They're not the best pics thanks to the cell phone, but I couldn't "not" take pics of him! /img/smilies/wink.png

Anyone else have any photos they'd like to share?

Just curious at what age do you think you can sex them? I have a bunch and would like a head count lol

 

[demikitten]

At what age do you think it's fairly reliable to sex them? I hatched a ton and have no clue what I have lol

What do you judge by? I'm lost with these guys!

Is there a thread for SOP/exhibition breeding of Langshans? I've searched but haven't been able to find one.
