Langshan Thread!!!

[CallMeMealworm]

Here she is again!! Possible langshan? Not laying yet either. Also she's sooooo tall. Blue or slate legs. Pink toenails. Huge amount of feathers. Green sheen.

Can anyone tell me if this breed hard to raise? I’ve had a dozen chicks at various times & I can never get a single 1 to adulthood. I’ve tried medicated feed, non medicated, gamebird chick starter (feed bought varies locations & brands of feed) and yet all die before they reach 4.5 months old. Actually I’ve only had one reach 4 months & it died within a few days of reaching 4 months.

Any help would be appreciated.

But I love the rich, dark shade of brown of my Langshan eggs, and when the plum-blush bloom occasionally occurs on them, I love that even better.

How I wish my only Langshan girl laid that color!

She's got great bloom, but the shell isn't very dark so it's more a pinky-tan. But what can you expect from a hatchery bird anyway?
