Are these Langshan? Rescued, showed up at our fence.

[Kenshan1]

These 2 showed up at our fence this afternoon. 2 of our neighborhood families (kids too) helped us catch these 2 so they didn't end up as racoon or eagle food by morning. The pictures aren't that great as they were nervous & my hens weren't all that nice to them. Looking through the breeds the Langshan looks pretty close. When they were up & walking around they carry their tails up pretty high.

If you can give a guess on what they are roo or not & breed would be nice. I will try to get better pictures tomorrow. (Copy & pasted this part & it made it blue & underlined it, weird).








This one above we weren't able to get our hands on, this one just went to the neighbors low side of our fence (their driveway is level with our fence) & it just hopped over into our yard.







With the curly tail I was thinking roo but once my hubby got his hands on this one I don't see any saddle feathers, has a small crown & no spurs. Both seem to have the same dark leg color & the same upright build. Much lighter build then my Barnie, Cookoo Marans, SLW.

I think they are cockerels, but that's based on the shine. I also think they are Black Australorps and maybe crossed with something because of the gold flakes (seen this before but can't remember)

ditto, black aust cross. I had a rir roo and aust pullet that had boys who looked and awful lot like these. Good luck!

Better pictures I hope. I too am thinking roos that were dumped by our fence in hopes we'd take them in grrr. I'm a sucker, didn't want them to be wild animal food. Going to put up signs in our neighborhood though. I'm liking the one with the different colors if we decide to keep one. He tends to not run away as the all black one but fallows the black one.

Ideas on breed though?

They definetly aren't Langshans.

The black one with gold leakage could be an Australorp x Ameraucana (here's someone else's mix of that)
