I've got a young cockerel that looks promising...I need to get updated photos. Here's when he was 5 months old:
The reason I love Langshans:
Awesome birds to handle. People walk by and want to pet the rooster because of his size. I pull him out of the cage (this was a local "fun-fair" to try and get people interested in birds) and let a 5 year old pet him. Then the older sister wanted to hold him. What other bird would just sit in the arms when he's touching the ground in her arms? So cute.
The males, from my flock, are fierce protectors. When you grab a hen, and she screams, watch out. If she doesn't, you're fine. I can completely trust the male to never attack. When they run, they look like raptors. The males are at least 2 times taller than my production Brahmas, and 10x as sweet.
The females, one in particular, laid regularly but wanted to be broody far more often. Better than any silkie or Orpington I've ever had. She didn't care if the chicks were 2 weeks old or 2 months old, she wanted to mother them.
Absolutely love the Langshans.
