1) Where can I get Langshan chicks/ young birds good enough to start a breeding program?
2) Is there a Hatchery that sells good enough birds that it would be feasible to start with them and work to improve the strain?
3) Is there any point in using my Blue to start a breeding program, if I could find some pullets with good type? Or is it better to just forget about breeding him?
2. I honestly would not consider a hatchery. The birds, even though pretty, are usually undersized and lack in breast and true Langshan stature.
3. As for using your male, you may be able to find a large female with a high tail that can help. But, it would honestly be better to start out with good stock as you won't be playing "catch up." But, if it is truly a bird you want to keep in your lines, there are ways to work him in.
