She's a he...

[Mobell84]

I'm new to all this and I thought we had everyone figured out. My hens just started laying, so it's very exciting for me.
So I'm looking up which eggs go with which hen, color wise. I realize that my black langshan hasnt laid any eggs.
My dad has been saying for a while that Shadow was a boy but I wouldnt believe it.
So now everything is coming together, the way my other rooster, Pan, treated "her". Why "she" was always alone and "her" tail feathers are much longer now and more pointed.
So what I'm trying to say is, I think we have 2 Roos... what do y'all think?!

Definitely a boy

 

[featheredplanets]

Yes, two males.

I'm thinking.... dad's correct It looks like you have two boys in this picture

 

[Mr Beaks]

Definitely a boy.

Thanks everyone!
Now the question is... why doesnt Shadow crow?

 

[Ebony Rose]

Because your dominant rooster would stomp him into the ground if he should dare attempt to usurp his authority (and rightly so).

Thanks everyone!

It will happen. Some birds are slower than others. I hatched two Crevecoeur boys on the same day last winter, and the second one started crowing nearly two months after the first one started.

I agree, long pointed and draping tail, shiny hackle feathers. I would also agree with Tycine1, he's the beta male so he has to watch himself. No crowing and even comb growth might be suppressed.
