How do I go about finding a breeder in California, near Sacramento if possible? Thank you. My flock of Langshans are almost 6 months old. I can't wait for my first egg!

You can post on the Northern California thread. If it helps any I got my splash langshan from a breeder in Antioch.

Here are some new pics of this year's pullets out of Shang. I'm very pleased with several of them and 2 or 3 of the cockerels. They were very suspicious of the camera so were not holding their tails up most of the time. I am planning on breeding Shang with a splash girl with a more pinched tail in hopes of getting some halfway decent blues and eventually some decent splashes.

Sorry about the overload of pics but I wanted to share a few of my tightrope walking pullets. This was before we put tarps over the coop for the winter. These two big girls are the first Langshan that I have had who are "flighty". We rearranged pens and let them free range the yard during the day and now they want to roost in the mulberry tree at night. I have been climbing up a ladder to get them down because spraying them with water doesn't work. One night, I tried doing it alone with a rickety aluminum ladder and fell. I was fortunate and only ended up with a ladder imprint bruise across my bumm. We now have a heavy duty, locking ladder in place. It has been 3 weeks of doing this and they still persist on roosting in the tree.







And one more pic to show the difference between a black pullet from my previous breeding stock in comparison to Shang's pullets. The pullet in the foreground is much smaller and has a pinched tail. She has a nicely rounded breast, though.

I think these gals are looking good. Glad for the update and to see your flock in good health. Cockerel pictures?
