Langshan

Even though he's annoying in the morning he is a gentle kind little thing.

He gets scared if my kids jump and of the squirrel's sounds and certain clothes.

The side shuffle is when he first runs side way and jump and scratch you.

I really loved our Langshan with her deep dark eyes.  She was mistakenly sold to me as a Cochin, because of the feathered feet. Later I learned that Cochins have yellow feet and eyes, Langshan's feet and eyes are dark.  I love their posture and my pullet made a low honking sort of sound, but very quiet.  She bonded with 2 D'uccles and where by each others sides constantly. They can fly over some fences which can make it difficult to keep them off the patio or out of certain areas of the garden you'd rather not be gotten to.  A great heritage breed to own and preserve. Let's hope they make it off the endangered list soon!  Overall a JOY to have around.

I have some off the new breeds the eggs were sent from over sea.  I have a blue and a splash langshan.  The grown birds of this breed he had was huge and walked with such confidance.  Almost cocky, if you will.  LOL  Such goergeous birds.  Such a awesome breeder that I got them from too.  You can check out his site if you want too.  It is www.pawheadpoultry.com   they will ship to you if you want. 

Ours is a white Langshan roo - he's a fantastic rooster, but it took him a long time to mature mentally....his "teenage" days seemed a little long. Has always been gentle with us and the girls. Despite his huge size, he's a capable runner and can jump quite high. Gentle giant.

I had to give Langshans 5 stars just because they are a favorite. Normally I would only give them 4 because of them being averge egg layers. I have always raised Whites and their pure white plumage stately upright stance with the slate color shanks have always been very appealing to me. They are not overly friendly but they are not unfriendly at all. They are just kind of indifferent.

I would suggest Langshans to just about anyone with a docile flock. While they are very large birds, they are non-aggressive, decent layers, and very nice to look at. They don't have a lot of personality in my limited experience, but I find they are nice to raise regardless.

I purchased my first pair of Langshans from Forrest Beauford in Claremore, OK. From that date, I have never wanted any other breed. They can and will be ferocious broodies, lay eggs better than any other Asiatic breed I have had and the males are never aggressive unless a hen sounds an alarm. The eggs are large and can vary from light cream to a very dark brown. They do well in confinement. Birds from a hatchery cannot compare to a bird from a quality breeder. You will not get the size or temperament that a bred-to-standard bird has.

I now have blues, blacks and whites in Largefowl and blues, blacks and whites in bantams. Feel free to PM or email me for any information that you need about this wonderful breed!
