Omletina Kyckling Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Help! I'm being led astray. My friend's brother has offered me three Langshan hens at point of lay, and I'm tempted by them. From what I can gather from the interwebnetserviceprovider, they are a rare breed and are black with a green sheen. They look to be very pretty birds and are docile by nature, but I'm not sure what to do. This would bring chicky numbers up to a round dozen, not sure this is wise!! Does anybody have any experience of Langshans at all who can offer any advice? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madbird Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 (edited) Ooooh go for it! "The hens lay 140-150 eggs a year and are good winter layers; the eggs are brown with a plum-coloured bloom. The hens are excellent sitters and mothers. Croad Langshans are easily tamed and adapt well to both confinement and free range." I've fancied a couple of these for ages but never been able to find any!... don't suppose your friends' brother wants to lead me astray aswell does he? (oops, just realised that sounded a bit 'ooh er missus' ) Edited February 15, 2009 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omletina Kyckling Posted February 15, 2009 Author Share Posted February 15, 2009 Thanks for that....I'll find out if he has anymore, or if I decide not to go for them, you could think about having those? Whereabouts are you? I'm not certain where he is but his sister (and me) is in Northants.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madbird Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 That would be great, thank you... I am in Leamington Spa, so not far (was actually over in West Haddon today) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
