Hi, Matt. I forgot to say that George/ina is 14 weeks old now.

Hi, Matt. I forgot to say that George/ina is 14 weeks old now.

That's a hard one! He/she is pretty red in the comb for 14 weeks old. Is that usual for your birds? Love it that he/she and the dog are buddies!

Hi, Matt. I forgot to say that George/ina is 14 weeks old now. 

14 weeks I could still go either way, but leaning toward pullet due to not seeing any saddle feathering yet. So I would say 51% pullet/ 49% cockerel. LOL

Thanks, Matt. You are much help. I say the same points as you, any more, anybody? I think this is a really hard one.

My first impression was pullet. The comb by itself would make me think cockerel but the lack of saddle at 14 weeks is telling. I think by 14 weeks "it" would be acting a little cocky if male. I'm going with pullet.

Now then, Langshan-experts from all over the world, help me to sex this one. It was a boy. Then a girl. Everybody agreed. but now we are not so sure. HELP! The dog is his/hers/its stepmother. She gets really upset if you try to seperate them. Cute, eh?

I'm gonna bet on pullet!

Wait is that second one in a couple of those shots the same age? If so I change my vote.

I have had a few chicks that act like a pullet and look like a pullet but their comb and wattles grow big and red. I always hope that they are girls but I'm not surprised when they find their voice! How old is he/she?

Oh, I see now! He/she is 14 weeks old. Are your Langshans as slow to mature as mine? The redness of his/her comb and wattles still makes me suspect boy!

OK, I got some pics. This is Lilly at 5 weeks. That's a 6-week old Americauna behind her. Is this normal appearance for a Langshan pullet? Or is Lilly probably a Billy? I think she looks like a pretty girl. I have three 6 week olds and I traded back the one I thought to be a He.... His tail wasn't as developed as the other two, but his comb was a little bigger and more pink vs yellow. Hope I'm right for both of us!

I think this one is a girl too. The picture of the girl holding her gives me the female Langshan feeling
