Black Langshans are also from the Asiatic Class of poultry and are a pure breed that originated in China many years ago. These large stunning birds are pure glossy black with bright red combs, dark eyes, and black shanks. Langshans are not as heavily feathered down the legs and toes as Cochins and have a more pronounced upright appearance. Chicks are black with some white on the underside. These are very nice show birds, lay large brown eggs, and are gentle.
Absolutely beautiful birds. Perfect homesteader material. They literally dissapear under the bushes when the hawks show up and are laying well, even in November, in *addition* to being such personable birds. Well Done!!
