I don't have photos, but I can make predictions.

Would the Langshan be black?
If yes, most of those hens will produce black chicks.

You don't say what color Sussex, but most colors of them would produce black chicks.

You don't say what color Leghorn. White Leghorns would produce white chicks, often with some black spots on them. Most other colors of Leghorns would produce black chicks.

For egg color:
With a Langshan father, any chick that hatches from a white or brown egg will lay brown eggs. They may lay lighter or darker eggs than the ones they hatch from, but in general chicks from light eggs will lay lighter eggs as compared with chicks from dark eggs who will lay darker eggs.

Chicks that hatch from blue or green eggs may lay green eggs, or they may lay brown eggs. It depends on the genetics of the mother. If she has two blue egg genes, all her chicks will lay blue or green eggs. If the mother has only one blue egg gene, she herself lays blue or green eggs but only half of her chicks will inherit that gene, so half her chicks will lay blue or green and the other half of her chicks will lay brown.

Genetically, there is one gene that controls whether an egg has blue or not. There are many genes that control how much brown is on the outside of the shell, ranging from no brown (white or blue eggs) through small and medium amounts of brown (brown or green eggs) up to large amounts of brown (dark brown or dark green eggs). All of your chicks are likely to have medium amounts of brown, meaning no actual white or blue eggs and no eggs that are very dark brown or dark green, but plenty of eggs in the middle range of brown shades, and mid-green eggs from the ones that get a blue egg gene from their mothers.
