Handmade. hand-painted Chocolate Hens and Henhouse. The whole thing is edible. We used over 5lbs of chocolate to make this. We entered into a chocolate contest and won Best Visual and Best Chocolatier. My flock inspired me to create this sculpture. It was painted and decorated by Olivia Perry...
Thank you for your comments. I don't have any other Langshans as of now. The two chicks I bought last year both turned out to be roos. So, this year I'm getting him a nice female. I have a very mixed flock. The splash easter egger you see in one of the shots with him lays khaki eggs she was a...
Thank you so much for your comments thus far! Here are a few more shots of Larry. He is a blast and so sweet to the girls.

Best I could get of his back

Sorry the quality of these isn't very good. Its been raining...
Here is an updated pic of Larry. He is just about 6 months old. He isn't crowing yet. Would love critiques as I'm brand new to the breed. Thanks!

I live in the Seattle area and raised two Langshans who turned out to be Larry and Lou... So, I"m looking for some Langshan pullets. My boys are blue. Would love a splash or white pullet but would take a good quality black. Are there any breeders in my area?
Thanks!
Question for my poultry friends... My chickens (5 full-grown, 6 pullets, 2 cockerels) free range in the back yard. I lock them up at night. Apparently there was a hawk yesterday that took my Sicilian Buttercup and scared my favorite Blue Andalusian into my neighbors yard where her dogs almost...
Here are updated shots of Larry and one of Lou. I'm really liking Larry's personality. Definitely going to need to find Lou a new home. Anyone interested? I'm near Seattle.

Okay, so I was pretty convinced even before I posted his pic here that Larry was a boy. But, I have been hoping that I have a pullet too. Now, I'm kinda thinking I have two boys. Her/His head has gotten broader than Larry's and although he/she is not the very top chicken, he/she is #2. What do...
I have a question - about what age do Langshan cockerels begin to crow? I'm pretty sure Larry is a Larry and not a Leena, but no sounds at all. He is about 3 months old.
I'm new to Langshans too, but I absolutely love them! They are very bold, curious and unafraid. They paddle when they run around the yard and my little roo is a hoot to watch. He hasn't gotten his voice yet, but he still herds his girls around the pen. I am hoping that my other Blue Langshan...
A few pics of Larry and Luna the first day I got their run/enclosure built. They had a blast!

Hmmmm... should I fly up there?
Larry and Luna
Handsome guy!
I have started a little blog about my back yard flock. I wrote a bit about my Langshan's today. I'm not sure if etiquitte on this site allows for links but if its a problem I'll gladly take it down. :)
