History
The Langshan is a German breeding product that was created in the beginning of the twentieth century. It was created by crossing Croad Langshans with Minorcas and Plymouth Rocks. The German breeders imagined a good egg-laying chicken, that would have non-feathered legs (opposed to the Croad Langshan). The creation of Langshans almost meant the end of the Croad Langshan in Germany.
