Blue Langshan Eggs

[Sweetheat]

We have two Blue Langshan, but they're not quite laying yet. They are squatting, so any day now! Will post a picture of their eggs when we get some

Yay! Awesome!

I have a black Croad Langshan, not blue though. She lays dark brown speckled eggs, definitely not as pale as yours. I don't think it's your Langshan, but I could be wrong. Langshans are the best!

We got 2 blues from a local place in TX. And I only got them as a replacement because they didn’t have any barred rock and said what the heck. It’s prob a cool breed. Love them!!

We ended up with Langshans in a similar way. We wanted to start our flock with at least 2 breeds that were "big, docile, and quiet." I didn't want to deal with different aged chicks in the brooder, so when our chicken lady at the co-op had Langshans coming the same day as Brahma chicks, I was like, "Why not?"

The Langshans are so serene they make the friendly Brahmas look like a bunch of spring breakers, but they're so big they easily hold their own. It's a good mix. Of course I'd love some Barred Rocks in the future, too

Oh my gosh!!! I love her! She’s so pretty. Isn’t it great how cuddly they are?

Yes. This was the first time she fully 'melted' We have 2 blue langshans and 2 delaware pullets - it's interesting to see their different traits. The delawares are happy to dig up the entire yard looking for food - the langshans are much more opportunistic!

And just like that one of our blue langshans laid her first egg (the one pictured above)

There were two eggs in that nest. I think hers is the paler one on the right

Congratulations! So you think it's the one on the far right?

Your birdie is a beauty. Ours are the finest of foragers but opportunistic, too. They just love food all around. If you've brought treats into the yard, you can bet a Langshan is sizing up the best way to get to the goods before the others.

You can see it in their expressions--it looks like she's watching the camera to see if any food will pop out of it

Here's our other BL. No eggs from her yet (I think)

Yes. Saw her lay it on the camera
