What the.....?

They just have nothing for spurs for 10 month olds though and no crowing.... My 7 monthers already have 2-3 spurs at 3/8ths inch.

I know what you mean, which also backs up my theory of them being Langshans. They are a very slow maturing breed. Same as in Brahmas and English Orpingtons, mine aren't full grow until they are around two years old.

Wisdom is always greatly appreciated here.

Conformation lends credibility to the possibility that they might be Langshans.

Thank you everyone. I just looked up Langshans and I'm thinking they are pretty darn close. I just looked at their legs and it looks like they both have tiny spurs coming in. I also have 4 Rhode Island Reds, 4 Black Australorps, 4 Sliver Wyandottes in my egg laying flock. 7 White Leghorns showed up with our other 50 Cornish X batch we purchased from TSC. 4 were roosters which are now chilling in the freezer . I think I may need to change where I buy my meat chickens from.

I've heard other complaints regarding chick vent sexing being a 90% thing as well. I don't know how to do it and most times I see people say its best left to professionals. Don't know how true that statement is as it is beyond my "paygrade".

They are cockerels. Not sure on the breed though.

Well, I was out collecting eggs this morning and I heard a faint crow from around the corner of the house. Sure enough one of them started to crow. The other is trying.
