Langshan gender

Oh wow that was fast. Betting in another week it'll be bright red.

I deleted it. The more I looked at it the more I became convinced the first photo was of the other langshan, lol. I hope I can find a clearer shot so I know it's him/her. I've been more focused on the BLRW cause nothing about any of the others seemed like a roo to me.

Agree. Wowza.

I spoke too soon then lol.

I do believe your BLRW is a cockerel.

That first one may have been him afterall. The feathers today look way more ruffled than 5 days ago so it's throwing me off. This is a different photo from the 27th. All the combs looked like this anyway even if it's not the same bird. Starting to turn pink but nothing crazy.

As far as the BLRW, I just hope everyone is wrong, lol. The comb/wattles on that one hasn't changed but who knows considering this langshan. An older thread concerning BLRW gave me hope. Many pegged 2/3 of a posters BLRW as roos and all 3 were hens. Bound to find out soon enough.

Well I'm definitely invested!

Was able to get a photo of 2 langshans side by side. The one on the right is a week or so older than the likely roo.

Update photos:
The comb/wattles are still considerably bigger/redder than my other two langshans (who are a week older). I cant stress enough that I have a terrible eye for this but I don't see any saddle/hackle feathers yet. Any differing opinions on gender (long shot). When do langshan roos typically get saddle/hackle feathers in? This one hatched 9/4 so 10 weeks old

No more comb development though really. Thinking maybe a fast developing pullet now.

This is one tough bird!

I hope so! Behavior isn't screaming rooster either but who knows. I added other body photos (didn't realize it was so blurry)

Updated photos taken tonight. Turned 12 weeks on Saturday. I can't see anything by way of saddles or hackles. This bird freaks any time it sees a phone so a lot of photos were white blurs. Comb/wattles have gotten bigger but not huge. More experience with keener eyes is appreciated. Still cockerel or fast growing pullet?
