Langshan
Save a rare breed and add some color to your egg basket at the same time! Langshans, an endangered breed from China, lay a pretty dark brown egg. This nicely-proportioned bird was originally bred as dual purpose, but today they're mainly kept by those conscientous folks that want to ensure their continued survival.
