Blue Langshan but male or female?

[CallMeMealworm]

I hatched this bird mid to late October of this year and I still can't tell if it's a boy or girl.

Hen characteristics: not much comb growth. Very gentle.

Rooster characteristics: big feet, dominant personality, feathers on back near tail are long and narrow.

What do you all think? Appreciate any comments and pics of Langshans.

I think it is too early. Langshans can be tough to sex. Give it at least a couple more weeks and reevaluate then.

I know zero about Langshans, but if it were any other breed I'd say it's a pullet.

Agreed

I thought it was male but there's no comb growth.

It's too young to see saddle feathers but the comb would be gaining some color by now, 9 weeks old, if it was a cockerel. It looks like a pullet.

Just look at the comb in few weeks. If Langshan are indeed late bloomers it will show red then. Never seen a single comb cockerel not show red by 12 weeks.
