Langshan Thread!!!

It turned Langshan into languages...lol! I love autocorrect. I once trued to use the speak feature and told it to write "I'll be there at 6." It wrote "I'll be there at s**". Yep..and then I sent it.

I guess that I'm better off without autocorrect! Who knows what I might write if I had it!

Lol! I'm going with my autocorrect is an app! Lol! Why do we even have these things if it can't read our minds!

auto correct is evil

I am looking for some opinions on the quality of three Black Langshan cockerels we have been raising since April. We are new to backyard poultry farming and have found ourselves with too many cockerels so I am looking to re-home several of them. The issue is that I am having a hard time deciding which ones and to where...Especially since they are all three such gentlemen

Any thoughts on the three that I show here would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Definitely need to see photos of the second two posed as the first one. Near impossible to tell much from the poses in those pictures. I think I like the front on the second bird, but can't be sure. I agree with Mikaela's comments on the first one, but I do really like his station.

Oh and yes, welcome to the best breed on the planet, there's just no competition.

I am desperately seeking WHITE Langshan hens or eggs to hatch. After having a champion Roo we fell in love with the breed but white ones seem so hard to find! I ended up buying some from a big hatchery but the breeding was so poor only one grew to the correct size and conformation. Anyone know any breeders out there????

I believe BGMatt on here has them. If not, Joe Oakley up in Ohio has some but I am not sure if he has any available either? Which area of the country are you in?

Please feel free to post photos of your male! Always love to see others sharing in the breed!

Pet Rock, when the male stands, his body should be in a U shape and upright with a fairly long neck. Yours are heavy-bodied which is fine if they are tall. I wish I could see the bottom bird standing like the other two. I would keep the one that has the most proportioned (to the body and tail)long neck and the cleanest U shape which would be the middle one judging by the pics, but i would have to see them in person to judge correctly. American langshans are big, lovely birds-my favorite bird by far.

I have Whites, nothing available until spring likely though. As Mikaela said, Joe Oakley has good ones as well, that's where I got my start in Whites.
