The Australian Langshan is little known outside Australia but is a popular breed inside the country.

The Australian Langshan is a small black, blue or white bird, with an upright carriage, long legs and medium-sized straight comb, which should be red.

Ideally, the outer toe of each foot should be feathered.

The black variety is a glossy black with green sheen, while the blue colour should be an even grey-blue, although males often have dark blue on the tail or hackles.

The bantam variety was created soon after the large variety by breeders in New South Wales and was bred from small stock of the large Australian Langshan.
