These aren't the best pictures of my flock, but I wanted to post some pics that show just how big my Blue Langsgan cockerel, Razzle, is at 7 months. In one pic, he's behind Roxy, my Blue Langshan hen, same age. It's easy to see he's much larger than she is, and she much much larger than my other hens.
In the others, he's beside my Rhode Island Red hens, also same age. My hens are normal size large fowl birds. They're not small or scrawny for their breed. They're nice, plump little girls! But Razzle is just enormous beside them. I know Langshans are supposed to be bigger and taller, but this is my first flock. I also know He's also not a great example of his breed. I got them all from TSC.
But Razzle is sweet and docile. He services all the hens with gentleness and even though he's so huge, they don't seem to mind at all his attentions.
And, guess what he did today???
HE CROWED!! There should be a First Crow thread like the First Egg thread lol. Or am I the only cockerel mama who was so proud of their boy?? I don't know why I'm so proud? I didn't have to buy him lessons or anything. Lol.
Ok so i have to ask now...lol. I know you bred him with three breeds, and the should be about....4th generation? Did you ever get any females? Id love to see how the look! I did this test with my rooster milkshake....i first hatched milkshake and he was my only egg of his kind i set. I set 5 more of his breed 5 months later and i ended up with one black rooster like milkshake, 3 WHITE ROOSTERS and ONE black hen! The hen looks alot like milkshake! I wish i got more hens....love malts personality. I sold their parents this summer, so no more experiencing. LOLI'm not sure if I've shown off the other boys, so here's one I know I've not shown the forum at all. Goes by the name Fate, and is uh well, he's a mutt for sure, haha!
