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.
Breed Details: Some lines of birds are more frequent in being broody. My particular birds have gone broody six times each this year alone. The males are sweet, relaxed and gentle. Green sheen on males and females is desirable with purple sheen considered less desirable than green. Eyes should be dark, bordering on black. Face and wattles should be red with a medium-sized comb. This breed has done will in 100*F temperatures as well as sub-zero temperatures in the winter. Laying in high temperatures should not be expected. Eggs vary from light brown to dark brown and desirable eggs have a "plum" coloration to the brown. |
