Belgians bred their farmyard birds to produce a meaty and powerful chicken breed -- originally called a Lombard’s rooster and later a Bruges Game-- that could vanquish an opponent or fill a roasting pan equally well. In the mid- to late 1800s in eastern Belgium the Bruges Game was crossed with large Asiatic breeds (probably Malays) to produce the Liege Fighter or Luikse Vechter. The Liege Fighter is one of three remaining breeds of Belgian game fowl; the others are the Bruges and the Tirlemont. The Liege Fighter was bred to fight with natural spurs (as opposed to the sharpened metal gaffes commonly seen today) and to be so large and powerful that it could easily overwhelm any other fighting breed.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"hhBold\"\u003eAppearance and Behavior\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Liege Fighter exhibits several striking characteristics. One is their size. Adult roosters can exceed 30” in height and weigh up to 12 lb. They can grow to be twice as large as American game fowl. Their weight consists primarily of muscle, and they are an intimidating breed in appearance. Their feet are truly huge; the largest we have seen in any chicken breed and as large as a turkey's feet. Second is their plumage. Their feathers lay close to their body as they don't have much under-fluff (the downy feathers). In a way, this helps accentuate their height. Our flock consists of blue, black, and splash-colored birds. This means our flock produces those three colors as well. Some of the roosters that we've seen grow out, grew to be blue-based with gold throughout their hackles and wings whereas other blue-based roosters had blonde throughout their hackles and wings. We've also seen black-based roosters with gold and some with the blonde too. We think all are stunning. The third striking characteristic is their face. They have an incredibly fierce gaze which is shielded by the overhang of a prominent brow. This breed doesn't tend to grow wattles and if they do have them, they are very small. The comb shape tends to resemble a pea comb with three ridges. Despite their very intimidating appearance, these birds are friendly with their human handlers.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe hens are smaller than the roosters at about 8 pounds and lay cream-colored eggs in reasonably large numbers. On average you'll get about 150 eggs per year from them. During their first 2 years, they lay very consistently and a hen may lay around 200 eggs. After 2 years, their egg production will decrease slightly. Both the roosters and the hens are extremely curious birds. We say they are nosey. They always have to be right near us if we are in their pen, to the point it's hard to walk without bumping into one of the birds. The hens aren't typical broody so if you plan to hatch chicks we recommend you invest in a good quality incubator.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSince this breed is so large and heavy, you should ensure that the perch height for the birds is no higher than 36\" from the ground. This will reduce injury to the birds when they jump down from the perches.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"hhBold\"\u003eBreeding\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Liege Fighter do well at a rooster-to-hen ratio of about 1:10.

This means integrating a Liege cockerel or rooster into an existing flock can be done in a few different ways. You can try integrating the cockerel into a mixed flock that already has a rooster, that isn't a gamefowl breed, before the Liege is 8 months old. The established rooster will of course put the Liege in his place and typically the Liege will not challenge much. As long as the established rooster doesn't continue to fight the Liege, then the integration is successful and as the Liege ages, he and the other rooster will work out the pecking order as they age. Typically this is the easiest way to integrate. This is also the method we recommend if you have an established bantam rooster and you want to add the Liege fighter to the group. We've housed bantam roosters with Liege Fighter roosters with no issue by using this method or the following method.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIf you have cockerels that are about the same age they can be housed in a bachelor pen. This is what we tend to do as we grow out cockerels from various breeds. We typically consolidate about 30 cockerels into a large pen when they are about the same age, about 3 months old. The hierarchy is established pretty quickly and is typically mild. They tend to fight much less since they aren't fully mature.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIf you have a Liege Fighter flock and want to add another rooster, you should wait until the new rooster is at least 8 to 9 months old before integrating. This way the interaction is more evenly matched. However, this method doesn't always succeed. The key to using this method is that you have to make sure you have enough hens for both roosters and that the pen is roomy. Using the ratio of 1:10, if you want to have 2 roosters in your flock then you should have 20 hens. If you don't have enough hens or enough space, the integration will fail. If it does fail, you should remove the new rooster and make changes to the flock, and they try again after the new rooster has had time to rest and recover. Sometimes this just means waiting until the rooster is larger and more confident.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThere isn't one integration method that will work 100% of the time. Always monitor the birds closely when you integrate a new one into a flock, no matter the breed.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"hhBold\"\u003eHatching Eggs\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWe hatch at 99.5F and 55% humidity.

In fact, the 55 Flowery Hens were his very first creation, and more than half a century later, it remains his most enduring success. While the half-dozen or so of the Silverudd chicken breeds have largely slid into obscurity, 55s remain in a few commercial flocks in their native country. While most of Silverudd’s other breeds have faded into obscurity, the 55 still persists in a handful of commercial flocks in its native country. Silverudd’s goal was simple yet ambitious: to design an autosexing chicken that could produce eggs in commercial quantities. By crossing different Leghorn varieties, he succeeded in creating a breed whose chicks can be sexed at hatch by their feather patterns and whose males and females remain visually distinct throughout their lives.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eToday, the 55 Flowery Hen continue to deliver on both beauty and utility.

Chicks routinely hatch on day 21; however, it’s not unusual to have a few stragglers making their appearance a day or two later.

Bresse make excellent backyard birds, laying roughly 250 large, white to lightly tinted eggs and displaying a moderate, curious temperament. With striking red combs, brilliant white feathers, and steel-blue legs that echo the French flag, they grow into sturdy, broad-chested birds—hens reaching 5-6 pounds and roosters 7-9 pounds—though their size means they’re not graceful fliers and need lower perches and nest boxes. They can be feisty foragers, dedicated mothers when broody, and attentive protectors, especially with an active rooster-to-hen ratio of around 1:12. Their breed standard calls for pure white plumage, dark eyes, red faces, and white earlobes, though a bit of sun or soil may give them a temporary “toasted marshmallow” tint.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBreed History\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBresse chickens have a long and colorful history that underlies their unique claim in the poultry realm: They are reputed to be the best-tasting chickens in the world.

Somewhere between the Rhone River and the French Alps sits a 60-mile by 25-mile swath of fields and woodlands. Here, the breed was formed from a now-forgotten mix of local fowl. Through a combination of luck and selective breeding, small flocks of poulet de Bresse that dotted the French countryside soon earned the reputation of having a unique and exquisite flavor.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAs early as 1825, the prototypical epicurean Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin described Bresse as “the queen of chickens, and the chicken of kings.” Bresse has been said to possess “the tastiest, the firmest, and most succulent flesh of any chicken anywhere.” And so, because of its legendary meat quality, Bresse commands a huge premium compared to conventional commercial poultry and is the basis of a thriving agricultural industry in France. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTo be recognized as a true “Bresse” chicken, a bird must, perhaps inconveniently, be an authentic product of eastern France, with a traceable genetic lineage to the original flocks of the region. Bresse chickens are genetically distinct in that they uniquely metabolize feed in a way that distributes muscle and fat differently across their bodies, both in placement and rate of development. This distinctive physiology results in meat with a flavor unlike that of any other chicken. They are also known for their unusually light bones and delicate skin, physical traits that stem directly from their singular genetics. More than 500 years of careful breed selection have shaped a chicken that cannot be replicated by simply crossbreeding unrelated birds. A true Bresse is not just a type, it is a lineage, a result of history, and a product of place.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAppearance and Behavior\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn a fantastic ode to their homeland, the White Bresse mirror the red, white, and blue pattern of the French national flag.

They are curious foragers, calm and content when comfortable but surprisingly quick and feisty when provoked. They are broad-chested with a more dense build than other breeds. Typically, the hens will weigh between 5 to 6 pounds at maturity, and the roosters between 7 to 9 pounds at maturity. Being so large, they don’t take to flight very well, and when considering their living space, it is important to note perch and nestbox height to help prevent injuries; neither should be too high since they are not very good at slowing their leaping descent to the ground and tend to drop rather than glide. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe hens don’t always go broody, but when they do, they mean it!

Medium-sized and naturally alert, they are active, heat-tolerant birds whose iridescent plumage and gamefowl-like build set them apart. Hens lay 60–100 cream-colored eggs annually in irregular cycles, are exceptionally broody, and vigorously protect their chicks, while a rooster-to-hen ratio of about 1:12 works well. The breed standard centers on their signature black pigmentation, a single five-point comb, tight wings, and upright, broad-chested posture.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBreed History\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Indonesian chicken breed known as Ayam Cemani takes the concept of ‘dark’ to an entirely new level. Their feathers are black. Their skin is black. Cut open an Ayam Cemani and you’ll find black muscle anchored to black bones. Even their organs share the same inky hue. Yet from this extraordinary depth of color emerges one of the most breathtakingly beautiful chickens in the world, so exotic and striking that it has earned the nickname “the Lamborghini of poultry”.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn Asia, Ayam Cemani are renowned as much for the mystical powers of their black meat as they are for their extraordinary ink-black feathers that shimmer with a metallic sheen of beetle green and purple. The reason for these excessive black traits is a result of a fibromelanistic gene. This gene is not very common and is only seen in a few other chicken breeds. The fibromelanistic gene causes black pigment or melanin to build up in the skin and connective tissues.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Ayam Cemani are believed to originate from the island of Java in Indonesia. The history of the Cemani traces back to around 1500 AD, during a period when Javanese culture was deeply shaped by Hindu and Buddhist traditions. The breed is thought to have developed from a cross between native chickens and birds introduced by Indian traders, giving rise to a distinct lineage with its signature, striking traits.They were reportedly first imported to Europe in the 1950s, but It wasn’t until the 1980s that the Ayam Cemani began to capture worldwide attention, celebrated for its rare genetic makeup and extraordinary appearance. In 2014, Greenfire Farms was able to locate and legally import the first pure specimens of this breed into the United States. In 2023, we were fortunate enough to import a new line of Ayam Cemani from Belgium, which we offer separately from our existing line. This new bloodline shows less mulberry coloration and will contribute valuable genetic diversity to our Cemani flocks—and to yours.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAppearance and Behavior\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAyam Cemani are instantly recognizable for their striking, all-black appearance, which extends from feathers and skin to beak, legs, and even internal tissues. Hens display a sleek, glossy plumage with subtle iridescent highlights, while roosters carry a slightly more pronounced stature with similarly deep black coloring. Despite their exotic and almost mystical look, these birds are active and hardy. They are naturally flighty and alert, often taking to higher ground when startled. They handle heat well and show reasonable tolerance to cold.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCemani are medium-sized birds, with mature roosters typically weighing between 5 and 7 pounds, and hens around 4 to 5 pounds. Hens generally lay 100 to 120 small to medium cream-colored eggs during their first year. Their laying pattern differs from many other breeds, often starting and stopping throughout the spring and summer. While some sources suggest they may lay 20 to 30 eggs before pausing for several months, our experience indicates shorter gaps between laying periods. Nonetheless, it’s important to consider this unique laying behavior when deciding whether to add Ayam Cemani to your flock.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCemani ladies are notoriously broody and do a good job of protecting their babies once they’ve hatched.

Íslenska landnámshænan, directly translating to “Icelandic chicken of the settlers”, is a unique and historic breed that hails from none other than Iceland. The Icelandic are highly regarded for their hardiness and adaptability, making them well-suited to the harsh and variable climate of their native homeland. This breed is particularly valued for its exceptional foraging abilities and its capacity to thrive in free-range environments, which has made it a favored choice for sustainable and organic farming practices.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBack in the 1930’s, the importation of commercial chicken breeds threatened the Icelandic’s survival as a pure landrace. Fast forward to the 1970s, following efforts to conserve pure birds, this breed began being exported to other countries, like the United States. According to the Livestock Conservancy, it is estimated that there are only about 5,000 Icelandic landrace birds internationally, and these can be traced back to those saved in the 1970s. In 2004, a British study collected blood samples of the Icelandic breed and found that 78% of their DNA is unique and cannot be found in any other chicken breed in the world, making the Icelandic one of the most unique breeds on the planet!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAppearance and Behavior\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIcelandic chickens come in a wide variety of colors and patterns, as they are a landrace, so there is no standard to their appearance, adding to the breed’s visual appeal! Birds can be crested and non-crested and a variety of comb shapes are accepted. Because they are a landrace, there is a high level of genetic diversity within the breed, making them particularly resilient and adaptable to different environments. This breed is known for its resourcefulness and self-sufficiency, traits that have been honed over centuries of living in the challenging Icelandic environment.

Typically you should expect between 150 to 200 eggs per year from the hens. Hens weigh in at about 3 to 3.5 pounds and will lay medium-sized, off-white eggs. Roosters weigh roughly between 4.5 to 5.5 pounds. They can be a little flighty and will happily fly up and perch in trees. The hens are also somewhat broody so you can try to hatch naturally if you'd like. Some hens are more broody than others. We have also observed that they do well at a higher rooster-to-hen ratio of about 1:12. One rooster can easily mate with many hens. The viability of the eggs is consistently high at 90% or greater.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWith the growing interest in heritage and rare breeds, the Icelandic chicken has gained attention outside of Iceland, where it is valued for its ability to thrive in diverse conditions and contribute to sustainable agricultural practices.

Brazilian chicken breed, characterized by feathers that lie tightly against the body with minimal underlying down. This gives the birds a distinctly lean, streamlined appearance. In Brazil, official measurements are taken with the bird fully extended, neck and legs stretched along a measuring board. Using this method, roosters routinely reach lengths exceeding 36 inches, with some measuring significantly more. Adding these pocket velociraptors to your flock is guaranteed to impress friends, family, and neighbors alike!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Gigante breed is relatively new, having been developed in the Brazilian states of Minas Gerais and Goiás during the late 1980s and early 1990s. The breed was created through crossbreeding Malayoid breeds, such as the Malay and Shamo, with caipira chickens - rustic, mixed breeds native to Brazil, similar to a landrace. According to the Brazilian Association of Indio Gigante Breeders, this breed is expected to achieve recognition soon as the first Brazilian pure-breed chicken!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAppearance and Behavior\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis breed has the long torso and neck typical of the Malayoid breeds, but in achieving its unique height, it has the added benefit of ridiculously long legs and huge feet. The height measurement is gathered by measuring from the tip of the toenail on the middle toe to the tip of the bird's beak. While the roosters can easily reach heights of 36 inches the hens will typically measure in at 30 inches.

It’s not uncommon to find several hens squeezed into a single box—how they manage to fit remains a mystery, but they certainly rise to the challenge. On occasion, a hen waiting her turn will lay an egg from the perch above the nestbox, as though she simply couldn’t wait any longer. While this behavior doesn’t always make for the most efficient egg-collecting routine, it does highlight their determined personalities.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWe use standard-sized nestboxes and have found no need to purchase or build oversized ones; the hens adapt perfectly well to conventional dimensions.

In our experience, roosters have not shown human aggression, with the exception of a single individual that was removed from our breeding program. Indio Gigantes are naturally curious and highly explorative. When we enter their pen, we’re typically greeted immediately and find them underfoot as they anticipate attention—or treats.

Additionally, this breed is clean-legged, so careful examination for feathering on the legs is essential.

The short answer is yes, you can add a Gigante hen or rooster to an existing flock and yes, they can do well in a mixed breed flock. Typically, hens are fairly simple to introduce. Not much to elaborate on, it's pretty straightforward and normally there are no issues. You should expect the roosters to fight some upon meeting new roosters as they need to establish a new hierarchy. This will be the case with any new addition, no matter the breed. We haven't noticed the Indio Gigante roosters being overly aggressive when meeting new roosters, however, the flock dynamic should always be considered - how much space do the birds have, how many hens are with the roosters, what is the age of the birds you are trying to integrate, etc. We haven't had issues with having the Indio Gigante cockerels or roosters in our grow out pens, once they work out the hierarchy the birds coexist fine. We've even had the Gigante in a pen with bantam roosters and they coexisted peacefully. If you do experience a bad integration attempt, you will need to remove the new bird, make some changes to the pen setup or flock dynamic, and try again once the birds have had time to recover and rest. We are happy to answer specific flock dynamic questions if you are concerned about integrating your birds.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSince they are hard-feathered, they don't

Our import of these light Sussex is but another chapter in a Sussex-driven story that began years ago. Greenfire Farms imported chickens for the first time in 2007, and the first birds we imported were Sussex from Australia. The Sussex chicken is what launched Greenfire Farms. Included in this inaugural shipment of Sussex were two varieties previously unseen in America: coronations and silvers. Not only were these varieties new to America, but the Australian birds were unusually large and beautiful examples of the breed. The newly imported birds caused a stir in the poultry world at the time, and their effect continues unabated today.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOf course, the story of the Sussex begins many years before we first imported these birds. In fact, to study this breed is to understand that these birds are engaged in a slow march around the globe that began thousands of years ago. Descendants of the ancient fowl brought to England by Roman invaders, the Sussex chicken could be identified as a distinct breed in Sussex County, England, almost two hundred years ago. The breed became standardized in 1903.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThese are the many positive attributes of a breed that have helped ensure its survival for hundreds of years and, with your help, are likely to keep it going for at least a few hundred more.

The roosters typically weigh between 10 to 11 pounds at maturity and the hens will weigh about 7 to 8 pounds. The sport a straight comb that should stand tall as well as red earlobes, and clean legs. The light variety displays a beautiful Columbian feather pattern, with white base feathers and black in the hackles and tail. The roosters will also have black feathers in the flight and covert feathers. Sussex hens lay upwards of 250 large, cream-colored eggs per year on average. This breed is typically not very broody so if you plan to hatch chicks from your flock we recommend that you invest in a good-quality incubator. With their pearlescent legs, these huge birds have a striking and regal appearance in the barnyard. Their behavior, too, is remarkable. More than most chicken breeds, Sussex exudes quiet confidence and an open curiosity about humans. This breed is a great choice for those who have young kids.

In order for a flock to be certified as compliant with the APA standard the flock must be inspected by an APA judge and at least 98% of the flock has to conform to all major breed traits identified by the Standard. This sets a very high bar for breed conformity which is why you will rarely if ever find a large hatchery that produces chicks from APA certified flocks. However, in 2015 Greenfire Farms applied to have its Light Sussex flocks inspected under the APA flock certification program, and our farm was visited by a former APA president and APA judge. Based on this inspection, in 2016 our flocks were awarded APA certification. Because of this certification, you can be assured you are receiving chicks produced by a flock meeting the highest APA standards.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Greenfire

The Legbar was only the second autosexing breed ever developed, following the Cambar, which was produced by crossing Barred Plymouth Rocks with Golden Campines.

Admired for their distinctive crests and striking blue eggs, Legbars quickly gained popularity, but by the 1970s, demand for blue eggs had waned, and the breed nearly vanished. Thanks to the dedication of passionate breeders, however, the Cream Legbar was saved from extinction. One of Punnett’s former students at Cambridge, John Croome, continued breeding the birds after the university’s program ended, preserving the line until his death in 1988.

On average, the male-to-female chick ratio is 50:50, though individual hatches may lean heavily toward one sex. Over multiple hatches, however, you can expect an even split. Chicks generally hatch right on schedule, around day 21, and late hatches are rare. Eggs that have not pipped by day 21 can usually be considered non-viable.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDefects\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOccasionally, female chicks from our Exhibition Cream Legbar line hatch with a faint chipmunk stripe and an overall lighter coloration.

Roosters’ combs should be closely monitored as they mature, and any males with floppy combs should be excluded from breeding. Similarly, hens whose combs excessively cover one eye are considered nonstandard and should not be used in breeding programs. However, a gentle curve in the comb is accepted for hens. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNotes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWe offer three distinct lines of Cream Legbar.

In the fall of 2010, we imported two breeding groups, followed a year later by additional birds with complementary traits. These birds were robust layers of blue eggs, though their feather coloration included more gold and chestnut than the British standard calls for. We maintain this flock because some breeders prefer their brighter colors, and they provide valuable genetic diversity to the limited Legbar gene pool in America.

Initially bred as fighting cocks, they evolved into barnyard birds known for their rich, dark red eggs. The breed was refined over time with the influence of Croad Langshan, Brahma, Coucou de Malines, Coucou de Rennes, and Gatinaise chickens. By the 1930s, several varieties were recognized, including the Cuckoo Marans, but the breed nearly disappeared during the mid-1940s. French breeding programs successfully revived them, and dedicated amateur breeders continued the effort, leading to the breed spreading to England and America, where the Black Copper Marans gained official recognition in 2011. Black Copper Marans are notable for their dark chocolate egg color, glossy black feathers with deep copper accents, feathered legs, red earlobes, and upright single combs. They are calm, friendly, and good foragers, with hens laying about 200-250 eggs per year. Roosters require careful integration with established flocks due to territorial tendencies. Marans are valued both for their exceptional eggs and flavorful meat, and they are showcased in French exhibitions for both bird and egg quality.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBreed History\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMarans (always spelled with an “s,” whether referring to one bird or many) are a distinguished dual-purpose breed from France. They trace their roots to the port town of Marans in the Poitou-Charentes region of western France, where seafarers in the 1800s left behind an assortment of chickens that eventually formed the foundation of the breed. Originally bred as fighting cocks, chance matings gave rise to a bird better suited for the barnyard, these birds were originally known as the Marandaise fowl. Over time, the Marans were further refined through the influence of Croad Langshan, Brahma, Coucou de Malines, Coucou de Rennes, and Gatinaise chickens, shaping the foundation of the breed we recognize today.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn France, the Marans quickly gained a reputation for their rich, dark red eggs, though their plumage remained quite varied and inconsistent. In the early 1920s, poultry enthusiast Mrs. Rousseau set out to standardize the Marans’ varied plumage, leading to the creation of the Cuckoo Marans. By the early 1930s, six varieties had been formally recognized: silver cuckoo, white, black, black copper, ermine, golden cuckoo, and red. However, in post-war France of the mid-1940s, the breed was nearly lost. To rescue it, the French Department of Agriculture launched breeding programs aimed at preservation and increased egg production. These efforts succeeded, and by 1952, Marans were laying around 200 eggs per year. When the official programs ended, dedicated amateur breeders took up the cause, successfully maintaining and improving the breed. From France, Marans spread to England and eventually to America, where in 2011 the Black Copper Marans earned acceptance into the American Poultry Association’s Standard of Perfection.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAppearance and Behavior\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Black Copper Marans are known for their striking plumage—glossy black feathers accented with deep copper hackles, with roosters showing extra copper on their saddle and covert feathers.

The hens are steady layers, about 200-250 eggs per year, and may occasionally go broody, making them dutiful mothers when they do. Roosters, while striking and confident, can be territorial and don’t always integrate well with other males, so it’s best to introduce newcomers gradually. They’re highly attentive to their hens and are generally not aggressive toward people. We’ve found that a rooster-to-hen ratio of 1:10 works best for the Marans. These birds enjoy free-ranging and are active foragers, yet they aren’t particularly flighty, preferring to stay close to home while exploring their surroundings.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn France, Marans are showcased in two distinct categories at poultry exhibitions: eggs and birds. In the egg category, the Black Copper Marans’ eggs are judged for the depth and sheen of their color, along with size, shape, and overall quality—all in pursuit of the perfect Marans egg. In the exhibition category, the birds themselves are evaluated for body type, plumage, and adherence to the written breed standard. Both categories come together at the prestigious national Marans show in France, which we’ve had the privilege to attend. The quality of both the eggs and the birds there is nothing short of remarkable.

Officially recognized in 1980, the Bielefelder remains prized for its reliability, impressive size, and gentle temperament. Its autosexing ability, made possible through deliberate selection for barred and cuckoo plumage, allows day-old chicks to be sexed by color, adding to the breed’s practicality. At Greenfire Farms, both the classic Crele and elegant Silver varieties are raised, along with a bantam version, all of which feature yellow legs, red earlobes, and a straight comb. Bielefelders lay 200 to 230 large brown eggs annually, grow into substantial table birds, and carry a calm, docile nature that makes them easy keepers. Though they prefer low roosts and may show reduced fertility in winter, they thrive in roomy pastures and benefit from careful rooster-to-hen ratios. Boldly patterned and striking in appearance, the Bielefelder excels in nearly every category.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBreed History\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Bielefelder was developed relatively recently in (you guessed it!) Bielefeld, Germany, in the early 1970s, by poultry breeder Gerd Roth and remains highly prized in its homeland. Herr Roth set out to create a large, hardy, and highly productive dual-purpose bird by combining the genetics of several exceptional breeds, including the Cuckoo Malines, Amrock, New Hampshire, Rhode Island Red, and Welsummer. When you combine the precision of German craftsmanship with a passion for poultry, you get the ultimate “uber-chicken”: the Bielefelder! By 1980, the Bielefelder was recognized by the Association of German Breed Poultry Breeders. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGerd Roth continued experimenting with Bielefelder coloration and introduced the Silver variety in 1982, perfecting it by 1988. He maintained that no silver or silver-necked birds were used in its creation; instead, through careful crosses with Welsummers, Amrocks, and Malines (both Amrocks and Malines carry the black-and-white cuckoo pattern, which includes the silver gene) he was able to select chicks that hatched with a lighter, gray-toned plumage. Over successive generations, he refined this trait. In essence, the Silver Bielefelder shares the same foundational breeds as the Crele variety; Roth simply focused on pairings that expressed the silver coloration, primarily derived from the cuckoo Malines and Amrocks.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEmbedded in the Bielefelder DNA is the autosexing function; day-old chicks can be easily sexed based on their feather color patterns, a characteristic reliably passed down through each generation. This quality was especially important to Roth, who aimed to make the Bielefelder as practical for breeders as it is beautiful. His deliberate selection of foundational breeds with barred and cuckoo plumage patterns was key to achieving the breed’s remarkable autosexing ability.

They enjoy roaming and foraging, but in larger spaces, roosters may favor certain hens and not mate with the entire flock, making careful management of rooster-to-hen ratios essential for successful breeding. We recommend a ratio between 1:8 to 1:10.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBreed Standard\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBielefelders are truly striking birds.

This is not a beginner breed, but for experienced poultry keepers seeking something truly extraordinary, the Dong Tao offers an unmatched presence.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Dong Tao has played a captivating and significant role in Vietnamese culture for centuries! Originating in the Dong Tao Commune of Vietnam’s Khoai Chau District, this remarkable breed was once reserved exclusively for royalty and high-ranking mandarins. Also known as the Ga Dong Tao or Dragon Chicken, these birds were prized for their extraordinary appearance and their place in ceremonial and celebratory meals. Carefully protected and bred only within their native region for generations, the Dong Tao remained largely unknown outside of Vietnam, adding to the rarity and mystique the breed holds today.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHistorical records and folk traditions trace the Dong Tao back to Vietnam’s feudal era (9th to 15th centuries), with researchers believing the breed originated from the “spur bamboo chicken”, which was introduced to Vietnam from China. Through generations of selective breeding in Dong Tao village, these birds developed into a distinct and specialized breed, defined by their unique structure and appearance, unlike any other chicken in the world. Long regarded as a culinary delicacy, Dong Tao were raised specifically for kings and noble families. Beyond their culinary value, they also held cultural and spiritual significance, frequently used in religious ceremonies and ancestral offerings as symbols of reverence and respect. Their distinctive, large scaly legs were traditionally believed to possess medicinal properties and were often prepared in restorative stews for the ill.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eExporting Dong Tao chickens was virtually unheard of until recent decades, and even today, true Dong Tao remain exceedingly rare worldwide. Successfully breeding them outside their native Vietnam requires careful management and expertise, making responsibly bred birds especially valuable. Modern conservation efforts focus on preserving the breed’s defining traits while improving overall hardiness and reproductive success, ensuring the Dong Tao’s legacy continues for future generations!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAppearance and Behavior\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Dong Tao are a true living spectacle, captivating attention the instant they come into view. Their most striking feature: enormous, heavily scaled legs, appear almost sculpted, lending the bird a bold, prehistoric presence that has rightfully earned them the nickname Dragon Chicken. These oversized legs, paired with a broad chest, upright posture, and heavy, muscular frame, create an imposing silhouette. Their legs continue to thicken as the birds mature, reaching their most dramatic proportions in fully grown adults, and can continue developing in size and mass between one and two years of age.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTheir plumage is typically sparse and held close to the body, which further highlights the bird’s substantial build. An upright stance and slow, deliberate movements enhance their regal, almost mythical presence. Roosters are most often seen in the black-breasted red color variety, while hens tend to display softer buff tones. In both sexes, the legs are strikingly red with a mulberry-like texture that is impossible to overlook. Hens weigh between 6 and 8 pounds, while roosters typically reach weights between 9 and 12 pounds. Every detail of the Dong Tao’s appearance feels bold, rare, and unmistakable!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn temperament, Dong Tao are typically calm and slow-moving, largely because of their heavy leg structure. They enjoy open spaces but can also adapt well to an enclosed coop environment. Roosters are attentive to their hens and are often quite docile when handled regularly. Hens are prone to broodiness, but their exceptionally thick legs can increase the likelihood of eggs being broken in the nest box, making incubation the preferred approach. Hens produce about 100 to 150 medium-sized, tinted eggs per year. For best fertility and flock balance, we have found a rooster-to-hen ratio of 1:8 to be ideal for the Dragon Chicken. Dong Tao are not cold hardy and should be provided with supplemental heat in cooler climates, though they thrive in warm, tropical environments.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBreed Standard\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAlthough an official Standard of Perfection for the Dong Tao is difficult to locate, there is no question that leg thickness is the breed’s defining priority. Beyond their exceptionally thick, heavily scaled legs, Dong Tao chickens are typically recognized by a strawberry comb, red earlobes, and small, understated wattles. The Dong Tao Chicken Management Handbook describes 3 color varieties for the hens. The first is often described as “banana leaf,” a shade resembling the muted, golden-tan color of dried banana leaves. The second is known as “horseradish,” similar to sparrow plumage, with dark brown feathers accented by lighter edging. The third variety is a lighter, earth-toned coloration, featuring pale or off-white feathers that blend naturally with soil and clay hues.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor a more detailed look at the Dong Tao’s unofficial standard, visit the links below.

The Vorwerk has always been a rare chicken breed despite its remarkable two-tone color pattern. In 1913, the breed was standardized. There are both large fowl and bantam versions of the Vorwerk and while Greenfire Farms only has the large fowl version, a bantam version of the Vorwerk has existed in the United States for a few decades.

Since they don't routinely go broody this means they are more consistent layers and you'll typically see a hen will lay around 200 medium-sized tinted or cream-colored eggs per year.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis breed tends to stay very active and will happily forage and search for tasty treats. The nice benefit of this breed is that they have a lower feed to muscle conversion rate compared to other table breeds so they are a more economical option for a table breed. They seem to be very hardy, handling the summer heat in North Florida with ease but also handling the low temperatures of winter without issues. Depending on your environment there is a risk of frostbite on their combs but otherwise they are a great cold hardy option.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWe have found that this breed does well at a typical rooster to hen ratio of about 1:10.
