Where did you read this?

On the Australian Marans Club website: http://frenchmaransclubaustralia.yolasite.com/finishing-touches.php
Quote on feathered Marans shanks:
Feathered Shanks
Of the original breeds used to make the Marans only three were feather shanked. They were the Coucou de Malines, the Brahma and the Langshan none were vulture hocked.

I have read this elsewhere as well. Langshan also once laid a very dark brown egg.

Wow... The purple eggs are alright, I get them all the time, it just means it's got an extra layer of bacterial protection. But those DARK brown ones are stunning! So... Glossy... And... So… beautiful… I want some!

Hmmm...if you'd asked me 3 minutes ago I would have said my flock was complete. But now....

Have had some heavy blooms on my FBCM eggs, but not quite purple looking like these!
