Is my lil hen Dipsy a Croad Langshan or a Langshan?

She is an Australian Black Langshan. There are also Langshans (USA), Modern Langshans(UK), German Langshans as well as Croad Langshans.

My Australorp's eggs have a purple "plum" tint. I didn't realize that was the shade until one day my husband said..."Who laid the purple eggs?"
Then it occurred to me that THAT was the color. It must be the bloom.. it doesn't ever really wash off..but when the egg is wet, it looks
the shade of brown that it should be.. but dry..it's plum.

here you would see some of the colors out there..
But one trick to make purple eggs orh ave eggs look like their purple is by letting them sit in blueberry juice overnight...

That's a big eye on a little hen. She is sooo cute. I'd want her even without the purple eggs.

she could be an australorp..... she looks just like aussie did when she was a chick.
this breed has the biggest, blackest eye i have ever seen on a chicken.
i like their eye.... for some reason i keep thinking big eyes = smarter chicken....
