Hi everyone, hope you are all doing well. As it turns out, all of you that responded were correct about my previous post- about all my "girls" beings cockerels. I ended up taking them to a farmer that is very kind and loving and actually was looking to breed the type of guys that I had.
Now...
I was also paying really close attention to the tail feathers... and it looked to me more like a pullets tail according to the link for langshans on here
I dont like that answer lol..... Anyone care to comment further?? I am hoping for a different opinion. (not saying that you are wrong, but hoping that you are lol) :)
In the photo with several birds, the one in the back that I think is a roo is the one that is 12 weeks or so old. The others are a couple weeks younger.
Still trying to determine if I have boys or girls here. At first I thought I had a roo... but now not so sure.
Here are a few pics...
The First pic shows the bird in question in the front of the photo. The Second pic shows all the birds.
The one that I think might be a rooster developed...
Hi Everyone!
Trying to figure out the sex of a couple of my "girls"..... waited until they were a bit older and more feathered out to help facilitate this.
Here they are...

Thanks for all your help. I really hope that these are girls and not...
I have a 2-week old chick that has had pasty-butt just about since the day we got her. I have used the apple cider vinegar (Braggs) along with Nutri-Drench, and used warm water to wash off the pasty-poo.... and still, it continues. She is also smaller and less active than the other chicks...
Thanks for the welcome! And your advice is spot-on. If any turn out to be cockerels, I have a guy that takes them and raises them. I will probably get some Buff Orpingtons. Thanks again!

Thank you so much for your reply! The temp right under the light is at 95. I have it pointed straight down to give less heat to the rest of the brooder area. Kind of at an angle too.
A couple of questions for you- can I give them a plug of sod that has previously had chickens living on/near it...
