The Croad Langshans are quite rare. The woman in Ohio who sells them is named Judy Gaines. I just ordered some and they should be here tomorrow. Her prices are quite reasonable. $10 per bird. Shipping was a lot but it always is. I can't tell you how the order will turn out or the birds yet. good luck.

I have some purple egg layers. They are called croad langshans. They actually lay brown eggs with a purple bloom. Some come out looking pink. I don't ship but am hoping to sell some chicks at the Chicken Stock 2015 in Idaho Falls, Idaho. Sorry, I know that won't help you much. I know there are a small few that will ship them, if you can find them that is. I bought mine through feather hills farms.

Yes, they aren't laying yet. I will as soon as they start.

How did the lavender egg project turn out? Could I use an EE rooster that lays blue with a Welsummer hen to get purplish eggs?

A rooster that has a gene for blue eggs when bred to a hen that lays brown eggs will produce pullets that lay some shade of green eggs. Probably olive colored.

All of the Langshans in the US are considered to be Croad or at least descended from the Croad. Many still lay these plum colored eggs and many do not. It would be a shame to lose the body conformation for egg color in this breed. 

I agree
