Scholars debate the mix of breeds that gave rise to the Wyandotte, but the Hamburg likely contributed the neat rose comb that is evident in the breed. The new breed was named after a Northeastern tribe of Native Americans, the Wyandotte Nation. In the 21st Century, a striking color variant was introduced into the Wyandotte gene pool. Allan Brooker, a Briton who spent a decade quietly breeding Wyandottes, was able to create the most convincing lavender chicken we have ever seen, a large fowl Wyandotte. A deep lavender color is apparent even in the chicks of this variety.\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\u003eThis variety of Wyandotte is a large fowl variety, with roosters typically weighing in between 7 to 8 pounds and the hens between 5 to 6 pounds at maturity. In adults, lavender is set against a bright red, rose comb, red earlobes, red wattles, and yellow non-feathered legs making for a truly striking appearance. The Wyandottes have a lot of under-fluff giving them an almost cartoon-like chicken appearance with very fluffy butts. With all of this fluff and short comb, they do tend to do fairly well in cold temperatures. The hens from this breed will sexually mature around 8 months old, so they are slower to mature than most other breeds. Once mature hens usually lay a good quantity of cream-colored eggs during the first couple of years. As the hens age, they will lay significantly fewer eggs once they are more than 2 years old. The roosters are gentle and sociable, and the hens are equally docile.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTo summarize the genetics, the lavender coloration is due to a recessive gene mutation. The lavender gene is responsible for diluting eumelanin and phaeomelanin which are genes that are responsible for black and red or brown, respectively. Since the lavender wyandotte is set against a black background, the lavender gene dilutes the black pigment (eumelanin) resulting in the lavender plumage that we all know and love. For the birds to express lavender they must have 2 copies of the lavender gene.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOne drawback of the lavender gene is poor feather quality. Most notably in the tail feathers. The feathers tend to damage easily and some breeders refer to this gene as the \"tail shredder\" gene. Crossing a lavender bird with a split lavender bird can sometimes help strengthen the quality of the feathers. The split lavender chicks that our farm offers are expressed as BLACK and are capable of producing lavender offspring as they carry one copy of the lavender gene. If you breed a split lavender bird to a lavender bird then 50% of the offspring will be black and 50% will be lavender. At the moment, the APA does not recognize the lavender Wyandotte but does recognize 9 other color varieties.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"hhBold\"\u003eBreeding\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWe have found that this breed does well at a rooster-to-hen ratio of about 1:8. The viability does tend to fluctuate throughout the year. We have found that giving vent trims helps increase the rate of successful mating. It also helps clean up around the vent as sometimes their fluff can get very dirty. To give the vent trim, we just use a pair of sharp scissors and carefully cut the fluff around the vent. We have a couple of videos on our social media pages if you'd like to see how we do it.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"hhBold\"\u003eHatching Eggs\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWe incubate at 99.5F and 55% humidity.

for centuries bloodlines of game fowl were carefully selected to survive and dominate in the unforgiving world of the cockpit. 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 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.

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.

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.

This makes them a versatile, dual-purpose breed ideal for any chicken keeper, big or small.\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 our experience, this breed has a moderate temperament. 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!

Their faces are described as red, although under the tiny white feathers, come off more as pink with red waddles drooping below. The desirable eye color is the darkest it can be, and the earlobes are white. Although earlobes with some red coloring are accepted, the closer to solid white, the better. Their backs are broad and tail feathers set at an upright angle. Their feathers are white and should be free from any other coloring throughout the length of each feather. Dirt and sun bleaching can have an effect on feather color externally, but that does not degrade the quality of the bird.

Notably, within our older flock, we have noticed some of our birds have an eye color that is lighter than the preferred dark color, or they have grown out to have solid red earlobes.

The newer line, though, has been observed to occasionally lack the steel-blue pigment on their toes or legs, or to develop crooked toes as they age. Their toes were not previously crooked at hatch or at juvenile ages, and the pigment cannot be noted at hatch since the birds slowly develop the steel-blue coloration. Both traits are undesirable and occur only occasionally, but should be culled for in a breeding program once noticed.

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.

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. Not only are they broody, but also very vocal when picking their nest box.

Any birds showing this trait should be culled and excluded from future breeding programs. We are actively working to eliminate this issue, but it will require careful selection on your part as well.

Ketawa","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Ayam Ketawa, or “laughing chicken,” originated in South Sulawesi, Indonesia, where it was once kept exclusively by Buginese royalty and remains a cultural symbol of bravery and prestige, celebrated for its unique crow that resembles human laughter. Though similar in appearance to other Indonesian gamefowl, its long-crowing, melodic call sets it apart and is honored annually in national crowing competitions. These upright, elegant birds typically feature varied plumage—most commonly black-breasted red—with roosters reaching about 5 pounds and hens about 3.

They love to forage and spend much of their day exploring, but they’re not overly flighty, usually preferring to run or walk rather than take to the air.\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 our experience, Bantam Bielefelders show a moderate tendency toward broodiness, not excessive, but enough to notice.

Recognized in the U.S. as the “Watermaal,” it appears in several color varieties and is known for its striking features, including a spined rose comb, crest, and beard. Small but surprisingly hardy, hens weigh around 1 pound and lay 100-120 small white eggs per year, while roosters reach about 1.5 pounds and integrate easily into flocks, though they need protection from larger predators. These curious, active birds aren’t heavy layers but excel as broody, attentive mothers, and their elegant posture, clean grey legs, and lively personalities make them a delightful addition to any poultry collection.\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 Barbu de Watermael was developed over a century ago—around 1915 by some accounts—in the town of Watermael-Boitsfort, though its exact origins remain a mystery.

While neither he nor his son ever fully revealed which breeds were used, the Barbu d’Anvers is widely believed to have contributed.

ancestors of breeds like the Brahma, Cochin, and particularly the Langshan—with local Dutch fowl, resulting in a hardy, dual-purpose bird known for its rich brown eggs and strong winter laying. Originally bred to meet Europe’s demand for high-quality brown eggs, the Barnevelder has since expanded into more than a dozen varieties, with the stunning double-laced feather pattern becoming its most iconic feature. Imported into the U.S. in the 1920s, the breed is now a favorite among backyard keepers for its calm temperament, reliable production of 180–200 tan eggs per year, and substantial size—roosters reaching 7–8 pounds and hens 6–7 pounds. Though moderately active, they tolerate confinement well and may slow down in summer heat, making them well suited to medium-sized coops and runs.\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\u003eOriginating in Holland almost 200 years ago, Barnevelders are medium-heavy fowl known for their striking coloration and production of large dark eggs.

As the attendees consisted of amateur breeders who were basically all busy perfecting an existing breed, I made clear the usefulness of heredity in this perfecting. In addition, I indicated that with the necessary knowledge and perseverance it should be possible to breed an entirely new breed, which you could call an ESKV grouse or a Schijndelaar, for example. These ideas received little response during the meeting. But after the meeting, when it became very pleasant under the influence of some alcoholic refreshments, we further elaborated the idea of \"Schijndelaar\" and a nice prototype was created on the back of a beer mat. This type had, apart from a fairly small crest, few head ornaments, had its long tail about horizontal and had to lay green eggs.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe white color was officially recognized in the Netherlands in 2001, and later also in Germany and other countries.

Hen","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Shetland Hen is one of the rarest and most historically significant landrace chickens in the British Isles. For poultry keepers seeking a truly heritage breed with primitive instincts and outstanding hardiness, the Shetland Hen offers a rare and rewarding experience.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAbout Us\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Shetland Hen is a rare and historic landrace breed from the Shetland Islands of Scotland, developed over centuries of isolation, harsh weather, and crofting life. Valued for its hardiness, self-sufficiency, and exceptional foraging ability, it carries a unique heritage that likely reflects a mix of local Scottish chickens and historic imported poultry, including blue-egg genetics. Nearly lost in the 20th century, it survives today through dedicated conservation efforts and is recognized as critically endangered on the Slow Food Ark of Taste.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eShetland Hens are small to medium-sized birds with a distinctive crest, clean legs, and varied plumage. Active and highly alert, they thrive in free-range systems, while roosters are attentive flock guardians. Hens lay around 150–200 green to blue eggs annually but are not typically broody, and often choose unconventional nesting sites. Their compact, hardy build makes them exceptionally well suited to outdoor living.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAs a landrace breed, the Shetland Hen is defined by function rather than strict appearance standards, though key traits include a tufted crest, S-shaped comb, and unfeathered legs shaped by centuries of natural selection.\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\u003eDeveloped over centuries on the windswept Shetland Islands north of mainland Scotland, the Shetland Hen is a hardy landrace breed shaped by isolation, harsh weather, and traditional subsistence farming. Alert, resilient, and highly self-sufficient, these birds became valued for their ability to forage efficiently and thrive in the demanding North Atlantic climate.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTheir lineage is believed to trace back nearly 500 years, when Spanish galleons carrying exotic poultry, including blue-egg genetics from South America, were wrecked along the Shetland coast. Over time, these birds interbred with local Scottish chickens, giving rise to the distinctive Shetland Hen! Today, the breed is celebrated for its unique heritage and rare characteristics and is listed as critically endangered on the Slow Food Ark of Taste. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor generations, crofting families on the islands kept small household flocks that supplied eggs, meat, feathers, and pest control while surviving on sparse feed and extensive free-ranging. Because the Shetland Islands remained geographically isolated, the breed evolved largely outside the influence of mainland commercial poultry breeding.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNatural selection favored birds with exceptional hardiness, fertility, broodiness, and predator awareness. Unlike exhibition breeds developed for strict appearance standards, the Shetland Hen evolved as a practical survival breed, resulting in a genetically diverse population well adapted to rugged outdoor living.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDuring the twentieth century, industrial agriculture and imported hybrid layers pushed the breed close to extinction. Thanks to the efforts of conservation breeders and heritage poultry enthusiasts, the Shetland Hen survives today as both a rare genetic resource and an important part of Scotland’s agricultural heritage.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAppearance and Behavior\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Shetland Hen is a small to medium-sized landrace breed known for its distinctive crest, clean legs, and naturally varied plumage patterns. Their most recognizable feature is the prominent crest, which can become quite full and dramatic. In some birds, the crest feathers may grow large enough to obstruct vision, so occasional trimming can help improve visibility and make foraging and navigation easier.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eActive, hardy, and highly self-sufficient, Shetland Hens are exceptional foragers that thrive in free-range environments. They spend much of the day searching for insects, seeds, and greens, making them an excellent choice for sustainable homesteads! Roosters are especially attentive flock guardians, often keeping a watchful eye on their hens while guiding them to food sources and sounding alarms when danger is near. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eShetland Hens are dependable layers of stunning green to blue eggs, typically producing around 150 to 200 eggs per year. True to their independent and somewhat whimsical nature, our hens often prefer laying their eggs in carefully chosen spots around their coop rather than neatly inside nest boxes, adding a bit of daily treasure hunting for their keepers. Shetland Hen ladies do not tend to go broody. Hens generally weigh between 3.5 and 5 pounds, while roosters mature to a slightly larger 4.5 to 6 pounds, giving the breed a compact yet hardy build well-suited for active outdoor living. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBreed Standard\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAs a traditional landrace breed, the Shetland Hen differs from highly standardized exhibition poultry, with greater emphasis placed on hardiness, utility, and genetic diversity than rigid cosmetic uniformity. Rather than adhering to a standard of perfection, the breed is defined by a framework of characteristics developed through generations of natural adaptation. The Shetland Hen is a small to medium-sized bird, with a tufted crest, an S-shaped comb, and legs free of feathering. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHatching Eggs\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 incubate at 99.5F and 55% humidity.

In day-old chicks, the crest is often visible as small tufts of down, sometimes described as “eyebrow fluffs,” located above the eyes on the front portion of the head. While subtle at this age, these early signs can help identify chicks that carry the breed’s characteristic crest. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eChicks should not exhibit a vaulted skull, which is often indicated by an excessively large or bulbous crest. Birds displaying this defect should be excluded from breeding programs. The merits of every bird should be assessed as they reach adulthood.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNotes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGreenfire Farms first imported the Shetland Hen in 2019, followed by an unrelated bloodline in 2023! This new bloodline was imported directly from the UK, further strengthening the breed’s genetic diversity in the United States. By 2025, we began offering chicks and hatching eggs from this exciting new line. Because this bloodline is still being carefully expanded, availability remains limited, and preordering is strongly recommended as we continue growing the flock.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOne of the most exciting aspects of the 2023 Import Line is its tendency to produce a greater number of lighter-colored offspring, providing valuable diversity to the American Shetland Hen population, where darker plumage has traditionally been more common. To help breeders and enthusiasts distinguish between the two bloodlines, birds from this import will be sold separately and identified as the “2023 Import Line”.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eshetland hen \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eshetland hen chicks\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eshetland eggs\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Greenfire

A rare Swedish breed that lays beautiful green eggs, thrives in challenging conditions, and captivates poultry keepers with its elegant plumage! \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAbout Us\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Silverudd's Blue is a modern Swedish breed developed by Martin Silverudd, a parish priest and poultry geneticist who spent decades creating practical, productive chickens. His goal was to develop a hardy dual-purpose bird capable of laying large numbers of beautiful green eggs while thriving in Sweden's harsh climate. Although Silverudd passed away in 1986 before fully documenting his work, the breed was preserved by Swedish poultry enthusiasts and officially renamed Silverudd's Blue in 2016 to honor its creator.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSilverudd's Blues are active, intelligent birds that excel in free-range environments and are well adapted to cold weather. They come in black, blue, and splash varieties and are known for their excellent foraging ability, friendly disposition, and impressive egg production. Hens typically lay 200 to 250 green eggs each year, with shell colors ranging from light moss green to deep olive, making the Silverudd's Blue one of the most productive and sought-after green-egg-laying breeds in the world.\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\u003eThroughout history, ambitious breeders have been unable to resist tinkering with chicken genetics in pursuit of the perfect bird. In Sweden, that person was Martin Silverudd, a parish priest with an extraordinary passion for genetics. Silverudd spent much of the twentieth century experimenting with poultry breeding and developing several unique chicken breeds that remain admired today.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMartin Silverudd's goal was to create a practical, dual-purpose chicken that combined high egg production with hardiness and efficiency. He envisioned a bird capable of laying large numbers of attractive green eggs while remaining well-suited to Sweden's demanding climate. The breed also needed to be economical to maintain, with a moderate body size that required less feed than heavier breeds yet still provided a worthwhile table bird. To achieve this, Silverudd is believed to have incorporated genetics from the Rhode Island Red, New Hampshire, and Cream Legbar, the latter contributing the blue egg gene that, when combined with brown egg genetics, produced the desired green egg color. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUnfortunately, Silverudd passed away unexpectedly in 1986 before the breeding project was fully documented or standardized. As a result, no complete records detailing the breed's development survive. However, poultry historians and breeders have been able to reconstruct much of its likely genetic background by studying Silverudd's notes and the birds that remained after his death. Recognizing the breed's unique qualities and historical significance, the Swedish Cultural Chicken Association undertook efforts to preserve and refine the population, ensuring that Silverudd's vision would continue for future generations of poultry keepers. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe breed has been known by several names over the years, including Isbar, Isbar Blå, and Swedish Green Layer. These names originated from handwritten notes and breeding records dating back to the breed's development. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHowever, a thorough review of those records in 2015 revealed that the Isbar was actually a separate breed created 20 years prior and happened to exist at the same time as what is now known as Silverudd's Blue. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAdditionally, because the term \"bar\" in poultry breeding traditionally refers to barred or striped plumage patterns, the name Isbar was considered misleading for this breed. To prevent confusion and distinguish it from non-purebred green-egg-laying chickens in Sweden, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ethe Swedish Cultural Hen Association officially adopted the name Silverudd’s Blue in 2016\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, honoring the breed's creator, Martin Silverudd. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFather Silverudd developed several distinctive breeds during his breeding career, including the 55 Flowery Hen, Smaaland, Queen Silvia, Molilja, and, perhaps his most internationally recognized creation, the Silverudd's Blue. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAppearance and Behavior\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSilverudd's Blues are medium-sized birds with an athletic build that reflects their origins as active foragers.

Because the blue coloration is controlled by the incompletely dominant blue gene, breeding two blue birds together naturally produces offspring in all three colors. Birds that inherit no copies of the Blue gene are black, those with one copy are blue, and those with two copies are splash. Within these color categories, plumage can vary considerably, ranging from pale silver-blue to deep slate gray. Roosters typically display lighter silver accents in their hackle and saddle feathers, while hens tend to exhibit a more uniform coloration. Both sexes possess a single comb, red wattles, red earlobes, and clean, slate-colored legs. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBred to thrive in Sweden's demanding climate, Silverudd's Blues are hardy, active birds that excel in free-range environments. They are intelligent, curious, and energetic foragers, often covering large areas in search of food. Their alert and resourceful nature also helps them remain vigilant against predators, making them an excellent choice for pasture-based flocks. Silverudd's Blues are friendly without being overly dependent on human interaction. They tend to integrate well into mixed flocks and generally coexist peacefully with other breeds. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSilverudd's Blue roosters typically reach a mature weight of 5.5 to 7 pounds, while hens generally weigh between 4 and 5.5 pounds. Hens are known for their exceptional laying performance, producing roughly 200 to 250 eggs per year. While not typically considered a broody breed, occasional individuals may exhibit broodiness. The breed's primary reputation rests on its ability to produce large quantities of attractive green eggs over an extended laying season. The breed's greatest claim to fame is their beautiful green eggs, which can range in color from light moss green to rich olive. Some hens also produce eggs adorned with delicate brown speckling, adding even more variety to an already colorful egg basket. \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\u003eBecause the Silverudd's Blue was developed primarily as a utility breed rather than a standardized exhibition breed, considerable variation still exists within the population. Even so, quality birds share several defining characteristics, including clean, feather-free legs, a straight single comb, and red earlobes. The breed occurs in three primary color varieties: black, blue, and splash.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHens should exhibit predominantly solid coloration, although small amounts of silver or gold in the hackle feathers are considered acceptable.

While they can make perfectly healthy and productive flock members, they should be excluded from breeding programs to help preserve the breed's intended appearance and maintain consistency within the population.

Hona","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Swedish Black Hen, or Svart Hona, has the same fibromelanistic trait as that most coveted chicken breed from Indonesia, the Ayam Cemani. That is, virtually every physical feature outside and inside the Swedish Black Hen is the deepest black color. Some claim to see differences between the Ayam Cemani and the Swedish Black Hens –for example, the Ayam Cemani have been said to be more like gamefowl in body type– but the external differences are subtle and if they exist at all can only be discerned by a highly trained eye. Despite these physical commonalities the Swedish Black Hen has a vastly different history and has over the centuries adapted to a much colder climate than the Ayam Cemani. Also, Swedish Black Hens are even rarer than Ayam Cemani. A national poultry census in Sweden verified the existence of fewer than 500 Swedish Black Hens.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe gene that causes fibromelanosis is a mutation that existed in Asia more than 800 years ago. The gene promotes the proliferation of black pigment cells. This same mutation may have made its way in chickens transported to Norway as many as 400 years ago. (Norway and neighboring Sweden have a complex and often bloody history, but suffice to say that for a period of time Norway was a state within Sweden until Norway won independence in 1905.) A landrace of exotic black birds flourished on what is now the Sweden-Norway border, and what had probably begun as a tropical transplant to this frigid region eventually adapted to the colder climate. Some sources suggest that Swedish Black Hens made their way to the Nordic countries from seamen who traveled from Mozambique in the 1800s, although explanations vary and are often vague.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhat is certain is that Swedish Black Hens are relatively small and sleek –the roosters weigh about 4 lbs.—and have a friendly, relaxed temperament. The hens lay white or cream-colored eggs. Usually the birds are almost completely black although some have deep mulberry red facial skin. Feathers can shimmer with iridescent greens and purples. These birds are capable foragers and reflect the mastery that comes from the hundreds of years of free-range living enjoyed by their ancestors. A Swedish poultry keeper told us that Black Hens are known for not suffering from frostbite on their combs. Our Swedish Black Hens have roosted in the open on windy nights as cold as 20°F without any ill effects. We have found this landrace to be hardy and easy to raise despite its rarity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGreenfire Farms first imported a pair of Swedish Black Hens in 2012, and we subsequently imported unrelated stock in 2013. To the best of our knowledge these are the only Swedish Black Hens in America that were imported from their native country, thus ensuring that you receive authentic stock from the original source.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"hhBold\"\u003eHatching Eggs -\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhen hatching eggs from this breed, the main thing that you want to select for is pigmentation.

several hundred years ago, the product of a now forgotten mix of primitive breeds that were brought to Sweden by settlers and conquerors. As a landrace, this breed was not intentionally created by a breeder carefully selecting birds as part of a structured breeding program. Rather, this breed was created through natural selection and random pairings as the breed adapted to the climate and conditions of the Sydskanska Plain in southern Sweden.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSwedish flower hens are the largest breed of chickens native to Sweden. Roosters can weigh as much as 8 lbs. With the commercialization of Sweden’s poultry flocks in the last half of the 20th Century, this breed almost became extinct. A couple of decades ago remnant flocks were identified in three small, rural Swedish villages and a focused effort was made to save the breed. By the late 1980s fewer than 500 birds existed in the world. Today, about a thousand Swedish flower hens live in about fifty scattered flocks, and until Greenfire Farms began working with this breed, few if any could be found outside remote villages in Sweden.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSwedish flower hens are called blommeh??ns in Swedish; literally ‘bloom hens.’ The complex and brilliant color feather patterns of the birds do, indeed, evoke the image of a tangle of wildflowers. Their full visual appeal can’t be adequately appreciated unless you witness firsthand the rich and striking colors of the birds.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEven more impressive is the personality and hardiness of this breed. They are poised and confident around people, but the roosters are never aggressive toward their caretakers. They are independent enough to make excellent free-range birds, but they seek and seem to enjoy human interaction. Swedish flower hens are relatively calm but never to the point of being inert or inattentive. They seem to possess all the positive aspects of chicken personalities and none of the negatives. Our experience is that they are also unusually hardy, rarely falling ill or acting dumpy. Swedish flower hens display a level of vigor and mastery of their environment that other breeds –and quite a few people– would do well to emulate.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFew breeds are as practical as Swedish flower hens. The roosters have a powerful upright bearing and a broad chest. The hens are prolific layers for most of the year, and they far out-produce other breeds like Orpingtons. The first ‘pullet eggs’ produced by a young Swedish flower hen can be rather small. Be patient: Within a few months the hens will be generating extra-large eggs that are perfect for the table. In fact, in 2012 we identified hens in our flocks that laid exceptionally large eggs, and we kept their offspring as breeders in 2013. Our 2013 flocks of Swedish flower hens lay, on average, the largest eggs on our farm. In 2014, we imported unrelated bloodlines of Swedish flower hens and are currently selling their offspring.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe breed is also well-adapted to colder temperatures. Occasionally, flower hens have a feathered head crest, although the woman from whom we received our first shipment of birds selected against this trait in her flock. We later were able to locate and import four crested birds from an unrelated flock, so we have the ability to produce genetically diverse chicks in both the crested and uncrested varieties and in all the colors associated with this breed: black, gray, white, and red.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSwedish Flower Hen for

Highly prized throughout Imperial Russia for its beauty and hardiness, the breed is believed to have influenced many of Europe's crested and feather-legged chickens. Although it nearly vanished during the twentieth century and was once thought extinct, dedicated Russian breeders successfully restored the breed using historical records, artwork, and surviving genetic lines.

Despite their ornamental looks, these birds are exceptionally cold-hardy and active, thriving in a variety of environments. Hens lay approximately 70–90 small to medium white or tinted eggs annually and rarely go broody.

Named after the village of Pavlovo in central Russia, the breed likely developed during the late 18th century, although its exact origins remain somewhat mysterious. Historical records and illustrations from the late 1700s and early 1800s depict birds remarkably similar to the modern Pavlovskaya, suggesting the breed had already become well established by that time.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRenowned for their beauty and hardiness, Pavlovskaya chickens were highly prized throughout Imperial Russia and were exported to other European countries during the 19th century. Some poultry historians believe they may have contributed genetic material to several later European breeds featuring crests, beards, and feathered legs. Unfortunately, the breed nearly disappeared following political and agricultural changes in the early 20th century. By the mid-1900s, many believed the Pavlovskaya to be extinct.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDedicated Russian breeders spent decades reconstructing the breed using historical descriptions, artwork, and surviving genetic lines.

Their unique silhouette combines a dramatic crest, full beard and muffs, heavily feathered legs, and a graceful, upright posture. The crest forms a rounded \"helmet\" atop the head, while the beard and facial feathering frame the face in a manner unlike almost any other breed. Their feathered shanks and toes further contribute to their exotic appearance.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Pavlovskaya have two color varieties: gold and silver, with gold being the most common.

Shaped by generations of natural selection in a challenging mountain environment, these birds reflect the strength and endurance prized by the Basque people. Preservation efforts began in the 1970s when Dr. Fernando Orozco collected native eggs to protect the breed from hybridization due to commercial egg production. Dr. José Antonio Mendizábal helped formalize the breed standard, and in 2001 the Spanish government officially recognized the Euskal Oiloa to conserve its genetic diversity. Basque Hens come in five color varieties, with the striking red cuckoo (marraduna) featuring prominently at Greenfire Farms. Roosters weigh around 7 pounds, hens about 5, and the birds are confident foragers with moderate broodiness. You can expect roughly 180-200 eggs per year from Basque Hen ladies. While visually stunning and robust, Basque Hens can be challenging to integrate into established flocks, requiring careful introductions due to their strong social hierarchy.\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 Basque Hen, or Euskal Oiloa, is prized for its resourceful foraging skills and steady egg production. Originating in the Pyrenees—the rugged mountain range dividing Spain and France—this breed reflects the resilience of the Basque people themselves. Known for their unique language, customs, and fiercely independent spirit, the Basques have long valued strength and endurance in both their livestock and their way of life. In this challenging landscape, only the hardiest animals could thrive, and the traditional landraces of Basque chickens, often called “peasant breeds,” were shaped by generations of natural selection. These birds are tough, adaptable, and capable of thriving under conditions that would overwhelm less resilient breeds.\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 1975, Dr. Fernando Orozco began collecting eggs from the native chickens of the Basque region to begin the preservation of this historic breed. Their numbers began to dwindle when the commercial production for brown eggs in Spain resulted in producers crossing the Basque Hen with other breeds. This resulted in hybrids with less focus on adhering to the appearance and attributes of the pure birds. He continued this effort through 1976 at the Department of Animal Genetics INIA and then spent the following three years carefully breeding the birds and distinguishing the various color varieties. During this period, Dr. José Antonio Mendizábal helped formalize the breed’s characteristics, establishing the standard that defines the Basque Hen today. \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 2001, the Minister of Agriculture and Fisheries officially recognized and regulated the Euskal Oiloa to support the conservation, restoration, and improvement of the breed.

Here at Greenfire Farms, our flock features the red cuckoo, or marraduna, variety. These birds boast a stunning mix of white, black, buff, cream, and rich mahogany tones. The roosters are particularly eye-catching, with a pronounced cuckoo pattern and deeper shades of buff and mahogany across their wings and backs. A medium-sized breed, Basque Hen roosters typically reach around 7 pounds at maturity, while hens average about 5 pounds. A rooster-to-hen ratio of 1:10 has worked best for our flock.

or as the French say, le Combattant de Bruges, has a fascinating history. It is the oldest of the three native Belgian game fowl breeds having emerged in the early 1800s near the town of Bruges in northwest Belgium. Bruges, located along the coast near the English Channel, was a focal point of trade for centuries and convenient to nearby France, the Netherlands, and England. It was a melting pot for chicken genetics throughout this region of Europe, and some magical combination of genes more than two centuries ago was combined to create what many consider the ultimate game fowl, the Bruges Fighter. For hundreds of years le Combattant de Bruges has been regaled for its courage and strength in the cockpits of Europe where they fought with their natural spurs unlike their American cousins that use manmade steel spurs.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Bruges Fighter is endangered in their native Belgium. A recent census put the total global population at about 200 birds. Here’s your chance to add an amazing breed to your flock while you simultaneously help save it from extinction.\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\u003eThese birds can have a mix of metallic color in their feathers, often set off by deeply black fibromelanistic skin. (If you like the Ayam Cemani with its similar skin color, you’ll love the Bruges Fighter.) While Bruge Fighters are bred for combat with other chickens, we have found they quicky adapt and seem to enjoy handling by humans. Their confidence allows them to be easily tamed with no need to display aggression toward their keepers. The roosters do a very good job of protecting the flock. If you have problems with hawks or owls, having a Bruges Fighter in your flock is a good idea. The roosters normally stay on high alert and are apt at defending the hens.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis breed is large - they have long necks, long legs, and very strong, muscular bodies with compact feathering. They don't have lots of fluff. Roosters normally weigh between 10 to 12 pounds and the hens normally weigh between 7 to 8 pounds. They tend to be very active but not very flighty. Your perches should be placed no higher than 3' from the ground. Any higher than that and you risk injury to the birds. As when they jump down from the perch they can hurt their legs, hips, or back upon impact with the ground.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSince these birds are so large it is important that you consider that when trying to add new birds to an existing flock. If you want to add the Bruges Fighter to your flock, the introduction should be monitored closely. Same goes for if you are trying to add birds to an existing Bruges Fighter flock. You should expect birds to fight until they establish the hierarchy. We have found that introducing young males, before they reach full size and weight, helps tremendously with the integration.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe hens do go broody during the spring and summer and they are serious about it.

What information we have found about the breed states that they should have a small comb characterized by three ridges, so something that resembles a pea comb. They should have black or slate-blue legs and dark eyes. They sometimes will have wattles but they are normally very small. A few sources claim that there are 17 reported colors of this breed and those are as follows: (1) black, (2) white, (3) blue, (4) black with golden hackle, (5) black with silver hackle, (6) blue with golden hackle, (7) blue with silvery hackle, (8) black with silver hackle and bordered chest, (9) black with golden hackle and bordered chest, (10) blue with golden hackle and breast edging, (11) blue with silver hackle and rimmed breast, (12) golden salmon, (13) silver salmon, (14) salmon golden blue, (15) salmon blue silver, (16) silver salmon with red shoulder, and (17) shouldered silver-blue salmon red.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHere you can read about the history of gamefowl breeds, which outlines some of the differences between the Bruges and the Liege Fighter - \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/luiksevechter.weebly.com\/uploads\/1\/3\/8\/3\/13830268\/history_of_belgian_gamefowl_breeds_-_jm_vangansberg_-_1989.pdf\"\u003eHistory of Belgian Gamefowl Breeds\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.

An official standard was accepted in 1909. During this period, breeders favored extravagant plumage, selecting for birds with impressively large crests. However, these oversized crests often impaired the birds’ ability to forage and defend themselves from predators. As more practical and productive foreign breeds were introduced, the Crevecoeur gradually fell out of favor, regardless of their excellent meat quality. By the mid-20th century, the breed had nearly vanished.

Mature roosters are notably dense and full-bodied, making them a perfect choice for homesteaders or poultry enthusiasts who appreciate hefty roos! Hens begin laying at around 6-7 months of age, producing approximately 120 white eggs per year. They rarely go broody, so a quality incubator is recommended if you plan to hatch chicks. Occasionally, some roosters may exhibit aggression toward people. We recommend excluding these boys from breeding, instead selecting for milder temperaments, as is more in line with their breed standard. Crevecoeur hens, on the other hand, are very sweet and, with regular handling (and perhaps a few treats), can become quite easy to manage! \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThese birds are generally not very flighty, as their large crests can often hinder their vision. We will periodically trim the hens’ crests to help them navigate and forage more effectively. We’ve found that maintaining a rooster-to-hen ratio of 1:8 works well in promoting higher fertility in our flock. While this breed was once regarded as “sensitive” to climate, modern Crevecoeurs are much more hardy and resilient in both hot and cold conditions.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\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\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Crevecoeur has several distinct characteristics that help accentuate its uniqueness among other breeds. Both hens and roosters are adorned with large, fluffy crests, full beards, and a striking V-shaped comb, reminiscent of devil horns. According to the French standard, birds should have gray legs free of feathers, white earlobes, and cavernous nostrils (formed by their unique comb shape). While the American standard calls for red earlobes, the French breed standard favors white or “mother-of-pearl blue”, which is the guideline our flock follows.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor a more detailed look at the Crevecoeur’s history and breed standard, visit the links below!

Longcrower","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Denizli Longcrower is a very tall chicken breed. They have very long legs and necks. Typically a mature rooster will weigh about 6 to 7 pounds and a hen will weigh about 5 pounds. The hens also have unique vocalizations where their calls are elongated compared to a non-crowing breed. They have a tall straight comb, slate gray non-feathered legs, and their earlobes can vary from solid red to red with white. There are a few color varieties of this breed and our flock produces mostly red and black birds as well as white and black birds.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe hens aren't prolific layers but you will get about 100 to 120 large-sized white eggs per year, so on average that's about 2 to 3 eggs per week. The hens tend to speak a lot when they are laying an egg or when you go to collect the eggs from the nestbox. The hens aren't typically broody so if you plan to hatch chicks from this breed, you should invest in an incubator. Our flock is set at a 1:5 rooster-to-hen ratio and we've seen good results at that ratio.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThey are a very active breed and with their long legs, do enjoy lots of space. However, they do seem to do okay in a smaller coop. They're moderately flighty and can also jump up to perch in decently high places. Just be careful about having the roosting perches too high as they can sometimes hurt themselves when jumping down if the perches are high up.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"hhBold\"\u003eBreed History\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNot a lot is reported about this breed other than that the breed originated from the Denizli region of Turkey.

Eye Grey","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"copy\"\u003eFlarry Eye Greys are beautiful game fowl that originated in Ireland and were probably brought to the United States in the late 1800s. “Flarry” is an Irish derivation of the word “fiery,” and it alludes to the bright red eye color of this breed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"hhBold\"\u003eAppearance and Behavior\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn addition to this breed's bright red eyes, the Flarry Eye Greys also sport a signature feather crest on their heads; a striking adornment that is unusual for game fowl. Roosters are medium-sized and usually weigh between five and six pounds. The hens have a deep red breast that contrasts nicely with the intricate grey patterns in their feathers. The hens typically weigh around 4 pounds and lay medium-sized white eggs. Surprisingly they lay a lot of eggs for a game fowl, at around 160 eggs per year. The hens are broody and some of the hens in our flock are very protective of their eggs. So just a heads up, they will peck at your hands a lot while you collect the eggs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThey are extremely active and flighty. They are on high alert and the roosters will sound the alarm while everyone makes a mad dash for safety. They are good fliers so don't be alarmed if you find your birds trying to roost in trees. They thrive with space to roam - so ideally a coop with a large run or a free-range setup will be best for this breed. We recommend a large run as they don't always go back to their coop when it's time to roost if let out to free-range.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt will be difficult to introduce new birds into an existing flock of Flarry Eye Gray. Both the hens and the roosters can cause trouble. We have found that it is next to impossible to integrate a new rooster into a flock that already has a rooster. If the roosters are raised together you will have better results. It's a lot easier to create a separate flock with one rooster each. You can easily put up to 12 hens with 1 rooster. The roosters mate with the hens well so the viability tends to be pretty high. When introducing new hens into an existing flock, make sure the hens are full-size. The other hens, especially the dominant hen, will not accept new hens into the flock easily. You will not have a successful integration if you use a pullet or undersized hen.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"hhBold\"\u003eHatching Eggs\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe incubate at 99.5F and 55% humidity. Typically the viability of this breed is high and they tend to hatch well. We have noticed that there are typically a few eggs from every hatch that will need an extra day to hatch, so make sure to leave eggs in your hatcher an extra day or two to make sure all of the chicks have time to hatch. As a reminder, 21 days is the standard time it takes for chicks to hatch. On average the male-to-female hatch ratio is 50:50.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Greenfire Farms","offers":[{"title":"Flarry Eye Grey Day-Old Chick Unsexed \/

gold itself. This is the Gauloise Doree, the “golden chicken from Gaul,” that is so integral to culture and identity of the region that it became a national symbol in France. For the first time, the Galouise Doree is on American shores, a recent import by Greenfire Farms. Our farm is the only source for this breed in North America. Revel in its beauty, become steeped in its history. This breed is a living work of art and a history lesson all in one that belongs in every chicken coop in America.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"hhBold\"\u003eBreed History\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Gauloise Dorée is the oldest chicken breed in France. With features very similar to that of the red junglefowl, the wild bird species that gave rise to domesticated chickens, this breed provided genetics to every other chicken breed that would later emerge from France.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Gauloise can be traced to the ancient Gallic Wars where they played an improbably important role in Roman military strategy. The \"priest of the sacred chickens\" would keep the Gauloise unfed in cages, eventually releasing them near piles of grain. If they chose to eat the grain the military campaign was deemed favorable. If the chickens didn't touch the grain, the venture lacked the approval of the gods and would be abandoned. (Not surprisingly, those chickens sent many men into battle.)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eJulius Caesar ended up renaming the people of Gaul (present-day France, Belgium, Germany, and Switzerland) after this sacred chicken, and the Gauloise Dorée was then chosen as the French national symbol of the country's fighting spirit. Despite its historical importance, this storied breed was ignored in formal poultry circles until 1894 when it appeared for the first time in a poultry show. It wasn't until 1913 that it was finally approved as a standard breed by France’s Poultry Society of the North.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Gauloise Dorée was believed to be extinct between 1950 and 1980, but in 1998 the Gauloise Dorée Club of France was founded to protect this historic breed. A poultry census in 2014 recorded about fifty hens in existence. Today, they remain exceedingly rare.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"hhBold\"\u003eAppearance and Behavior\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Gauloise Dorée have a very similar appearance to red junglefowl, the foundational wild species of fowl from which domesticated chickens were bred. They are round with a broad chest, straight comb, white ear lobes, and slate blue, non-feathered legs. The standard color variety for these birds is the black-breasted red color.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe white Bresse, a very popular table breed, is derived in part from the Gauloise Dorée. Similar to the Bresse, the Gauloise have phenomenal meat quality and are also considered a dual-purpose breed. Hens will lay roughly 180 white eggs per year and reach reproductive maturity around 5 months of age. They do tend to go broody and can make excellent mothers to their chicks! We've noticed the viability fluctuates in our flock and they tend to mate very little during the winter months.

In 1849, cockfighting was banned in Britain but the sport did not disappear, instead going underground in surreptitious and illegal competitions.

Their plumage is breathtakingly beautiful, with orange and red feathers shimmering in the sunlight. The hens tend to be a mix of orange and black feathers whereas the roosters will typically display the fiery reds and oranges that will certainly captivate your attention. The hens are BROODY almost year round. You should expect hens of this breed to guard her eggs and try to hatch out a clutch or two of chicks. They are a good choice if you want to hatch chicks without using an incubator. Roosters of this breed can sometimes be aggressive toward people but not always.

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.

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.

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

Sussex variety most often associated with the breed. Our breeding stock are the offspring of light Sussex that took top honors in a national poultry show in Europe, and you can see from the conformation and coloring of their progeny how the parents won these awards.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"hhBold\"\u003eBreed History\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe light Sussex is a large dual-purpose bird that is grown for meat and kept for the extra large cream-colored eggs that the hens lay. 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. With both beauty and practicality Sussex bridges the past and present like few other chicken breeds, and they deserve a special place in America’s chicken coops.\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 light Sussex is often described as a large fowl with a rectangular build. 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.

It seems that sometimes the roosters do get a bit lazy, especially during the heat of summer. So to help increase the success during mating, we like to trim up the fluff around their vent. We do this by using some sharp scissors and with cautious snips of the scissors we trim away the feathers. Don't trim too much, just snipping around the vent.

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

Take half that number –about 1,300 individuals—and you have the global population of blue whales. Halve that number again and you’re describing the remaining population of mountain gorillas; about 650 secretive apes living deep in the forests of Rwanda. But, mountain gorillas are almost common compared to the number of Olandsk Dwarfs –a beautiful little chicken from Sweden– remaining in the world. In 1989 there were 54 of these birds on the planet, and today their number can be measured in the hundreds.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"hhBold\"\u003eBreed History\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThese avian rarities hail from Olands, the second largest island in Sweden; a strip of land about 85 miles long and 10 miles wide anchored near the mainland along the southeast coast. Here, centuries ago birds simply known as British garden hens (a literal translation of the Swedish word for this precursor landrace) were brought to the island, and from these birds the Olandsk Dwarf emerged as a distinct breed. Olandsk Dwarfs are relatively cold-hardy birds that lay smallish white eggs. Their feathers are a wild, splattered canvas drawing from a palette of red, black, white, and gray. Dwarfs are active foragers and socialize well in a flock. Typically their legs are clean however you may see some birds with slight feathering on their legs.\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\u003eYou will see various feather plumages in this breed. The most common appearance is white with a splattering of red, black, and gray. Some people refer to the pattern as flowered, which is either spangled (black-tipped) or mottled (white-tipped) depending on the bird. Normally they have pearl-colored legs but we have seen some birds with yellow legs and typically they have red earlobes. However, sometimes you will notice that the earlobes can be white and red. There is no strict standard on their appearance as they are a landrace but the framework for the landrace is the above-mentioned characteristics. They are typically no heavier than 3 pounds at maturity. Normally the roosters will weigh between 1.5 to 2.5 pounds and the hens will weigh around 1 pound. So, they are quite small birds!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe hens can be somewhat broody but we recommend investing in a good-quality incubator if you plan to hatch chicks. Not all Olandsk Dwarf hens should be expected to go broody. If you end up with a broody hen then you may be able to let her set and incubate her eggs naturally. The hens are also very good layers and typically in a young hen you will find that she will lay around 200 small, white eggs per year. After the hens are older than 3 years they will lay much fewer eggs. As is typical with most breeds. The hens and roosters are fairly easy to integrate with new birds. We haven't had many issues when adding in new birds, but we recommend that you supervise the interaction and integration of new birds for the first few days, just to make sure there are no major issues.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eViability is typically high, especially with young roosters. We have had good results with a rooster-to-hen ratio of about 1:10 but we think that one rooster could easily maintain high viability from a flock with up to 14 hens per 1 rooster. The roosters tend to be protective of the hens and will alert them to threats when they see them. We haven't experienced these roosters becoming aggressive toward humans.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt's also important to note that these birds are well-flighted and will happily and easily fly up to roost on the tallest perch or in trees if given the opportunity. They are very active and confident. Even though they are small, they don't seem to let them deter them from exploring their surroundings. Sometimes they are a little too confident, so keep that in mind when allowing them to free-range. These birds will do well in a small or large pen.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"hhBold\"\u003eBreed Standard\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eYou can read some information from a Swedish source for the Olandsk Dwarf by clicking \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.kackel.se\/hons\/#%C3%B6l%C3%A4ndsk-dv%C3%A4rg\" etc=\"\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.

They tend to hatch well at about 75% from the eggs that were placed into the hatcher. Viability does seem to be higher in the spring and summer and lower during the fall and winter. You should expect to see a variety of chick colorations when the chicks hatch. We have noticed that some chicks that hatch end up with splay leg. Which is when the chick's legs essentially slip out from under them and they are doing a split. This can be corrected if you act quickly but using a splay leg band. This might be eliminated by using different hatching conditions than what we typically use.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"hhBold\"\u003eNotes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGreenfire Farms has twice imported Olandsk Dwarfs; once in 2012 and again in 2014 from an unrelated bloodline.

Romans. With these early Roman settlers came chickens, and from those chickens a series of rose-combed chicken breeds emerged including the Bolton Grey, Lancashire Mooney and Yorkshire Pheasant. These birds were lumped together as “Hamburghs,” but this proved to be an overgeneralization that was eventually corrected. In 1914 one striking, distinct Yorkshire breed was renamed the Old English Pheasant Fowl. They were raised to be both egg producers and meat birds. Today, these birds, which occur in both gold and silver varieties, are extremely rare even in their native country, and until 2021, they were unknown outside the UK. In that country, the breed is on the watch list of the Rare Breeds Survival Trust.\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\u003eThey are medium-sized fowl, weighing in at about 7 pounds for the roosters and 5 to 6 pounds for the hens. Their mahogany-based feathers are beautifully accented with black on the tip. Sometimes the black will form a crescent shape along the edge of each feather. The black on the feathers is typically iridescent and will showcase purples and greens in direct sunlight. They have clean legs, a rose comb, and white earlobes. The roosters typically display a beautiful tail with black, sickle feathers.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis breed tends to be flighty and very reactive to stimuli in their environment. As chicks, they are very easily spooked and will be among the first to escape their brooder if there is no lid. They also seem to become stressed easily, so take extra steps to avoid overcrowding. Make sure to keep that in mind when planning to raise these chicks. They can be housed in either a small or large coop. However, the birds tend to do better in a larger space. For the rooster-to-hen ratio, we have used a 1:10 ratio with good results. The birds tend to be active so we think 1 rooster could easily be housed with up to 14 hens and you'd still see good viability. The birds are typically pretty easy to integrate into an existing flock. The roosters are somewhat timid compared to other breeds, so you should keep this in mind if you have a mixed flock. We recommend that you supervise or check in on birds regularly after integrating. We haven't observed hens in our flock to be broody, so we recommend using an incubator if you want to hatch chicks from this breed. The hens will typically lay between 150 to 200 eggs per year, so they are a good producer of medium, tinted eggs.\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 incubate at 99.5F and 55% humidity.

Apparently, to lay mountains of pastel-colored eggs! After nearly a century in Britain, the legendary Cream Legbar, thanks to a little help from Greenfire Farms, has made its way to the United States, delighting backyard poultry keepers with its charm, beauty, and brilliant blue eggs.\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 Cream Legbar’s story begins in the early 20th century at Cambridge University, where geneticists Reginald Crundall Punnett (inventor of the Punnett square, still used today) and Michael Pease set out to create an autosexing breed—chicks that could be sexed by color at hatch. The Legbar was only the second autosexing breed ever developed, following the Cambar, which was produced by crossing Barred Plymouth Rocks with Golden Campines. The original Legbar line was created by crossing Plymouth Rocks with Brown Leghorns to combine the barred gene with brown down feathers.\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 Cream Legbar itself was born somewhat by accident. Pease’s cross between the Gold Legbar and White Leghorn produced cream-colored, non-crested birds that laid white eggs. A later experimental cross with Araucanas from Punnett’s lab introduced both the signature crest and the blue egg gene—giving rise to the beloved Cream Legbar we know today.\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 Cream Legbar made its public debut at the London Dairy Show in 1947 and was officially recognized by the Poultry Club of Great Britain in 1958. 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. Fortunately, before his passing, Croome sent hatching eggs to fellow breeder David Applegarth in Yorkshire, who carried the legacy forward for many years. Today, a modern variant known as the\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCotswold Legbar continues the tradition, producing exquisite blue eggs celebrated as a gourmet staple across Britain’s pastoral countryside.\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\u003eWith their flashy crests and pastel-colored eggs, it’s easy to forget one of the most practical advantages the Cream Legbar offers: its autosexing ability.

Hens feature a small crest and cream hackles with delicate gray barring, complemented by warm salmon or hazelnut-colored breasts and softly barred plumage across the rest of the body. Cream Legbar chicks are easy to identify thanks to their autosexing trait! Females display a distinct chipmunk stripe down their backs, while males have a softer, less defined pattern with grayer tones and a noticeable cream spot on the head. These medium-sized birds are active, hardy foragers that thrive in free-range settings. Roosters are attentive and protective guardians, while hens are occasionally broody and will not hesitate to defend their nests when needed. Due to their energetic nature, we’ve found that a rooster-to-hen ratio of about 1:10 works best for maintaining harmony within the 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\u003eWe’ve found that Cream Legbars can be a bit on the flighty side and often seek higher ground when startled or threatened. Despite their lively nature, hens are excellent layers, producing around 200–250 eggs per year and maintaining steady production well into their third and fourth seasons.

Deathlayer","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAs a chicken the Deathlayer seems to have it all: the coolest breed name in all of poultrydom, spectacular good looks, and a history in its native Germany that goes back more than 400 years. How did it merit being called a Deathlayer, a name that is metal to the core? There are two competing theories. A literal translation of its German name, Totleger, means “death layer.” One theory has it that the name was bestowed because the hens of this breed are so productive they lay an egg each day until the day they die. The second theory – less sensational but probably more accurate -- is that the breed was first described by a different name in low German (Dauerleger or, literally, “day layer”), and over the centuries this name morphed into Totleger. Either way, what cannot be denied is that the Deathlayers do lay a large volume of medium-sized white eggs, and their remarkable appearance is like having visiting royalty in your chicken coop.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGreenfire Farms is the original importer of this breed into the United States. The breed has two color varieties – gold and silver — and we have imported both. Our silver line was first imported in 2016, and the gold line in 2019. Each line was sourced directly from Germany where this once popular bird's population has declined over the centuries. A recent census in Germany put the total registered population at about 1,500 birds. We are hoping that their utility value will be received enthusiastically by American fanciers so that, together, we can protect the rare and valuable features of this breed. They are a phenomenally active free-ranging breed and are sure to become a favorite with small-scale egg producers and backyard hobbyists. But, if aesthetics are driving your choice, it is hard to imagine a more beautiful rooster than the Deathlayer. With its tight cushion comb, iridescent greens and purples in its black feathers, luxuriant tail, and totally black doll eyes, in looks the Deathlayer can easily compete among the most beautiful chickens on the planet.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Greenfire Farms","offers":[{"title":"Silver Deathlayer Day-Old Chick Unsexed \/

How did it merit being called a Deathlayer, a name that is metal to the core? There are two competing theories. A literal translation of its German name, Totleger, means “death layer.” One theory has it that the name was bestowed because the hens of this breed are so productive that they lay an egg each day until the day they die. The second theory – less sensational but probably more accurate -- is that the breed was first described by a different name in low German (Dauerleger or, literally, “day layer”), and over the centuries this name morphed into Totleger. Either way, what cannot be denied is that the Deathlayers do lay a large volume of medium-sized white eggs, and their remarkable appearance is like having visiting royalty in your chicken coop.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn 1904, a breeder’s association was founded in Germany to preserve the Deathlayers. Unfortunately, this breed reached its lowest population of only a couple hundred birds in the 1980s. It wasn’t until 1988 that we saw an upward trend in their population due to a newly formed board of directors of the Special Association of Westfälischen Totlegers. In 2005, a total count of 1,492 female and 343 male Deathlayer chickens were recorded in a German census. We hope that their utility value will be received enthusiastically by American fanciers so that, together, we can protect the rare and valuable features of this breed. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAppearance and Behavior\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDeathlayers are a phenomenally active, free-ranging breed and are sure to become a favorite with small-scale egg producers and backyard hobbyists. But, if aesthetics are driving your choice, it is hard to imagine a more beautiful rooster than the Deathlayer.

Their piercing dark eyes add to the Deathlayer’s striking beauty, giving it a bold and mesmerizing presence. Both the silver and gold varieties display a pencilled feather pattern, small comb, white earlobes, and gray legs. The breed is clean-legged. The hens will normally lay about 4 eggs per week on average which is about 200 to 250 medium-sized, white eggs per year. The hens will lay for a very long time, and hence their name, typically will lay up until they die.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Deathlayer is a very flighty breed and doesn't do well in a small coop. You need a large run or the ability to free-range them. If you try to keep them in a small coop we think you will quickly realize that neither you nor the birds will be happy - as the birds will frequently fly up or frantically pace, most of the time with a lot of vocalizations. But you will find that if they have a lot of space you will both be much happier. The hens don't typically go broody so if you plan to hatch chicks, you will need to invest in an incubator.  We’ve found that a 1:10 rooster-to-hen ratio works well with the Deathlayer.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\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\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBoth the silver and gold Deathlayers will have a pencilled pattern on both the roosters and hens.

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. They feature feathered legs, red earlobes, and an upright single comb. Though prized as a quality table bird, their real claim to fame lies in their eggs: the darkest, richest chocolate-brown shells of any Marans variety.

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.

is the only chicken breed native to the Asturian region of Northern Spain where it traces its origins to the same chickens that were the foundational stock for the hardy Basque Hens.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn the 1950s and 60s, the upcoming egg industry in Asturias introduced improved egg layers, dropping the Pita Pinta population drastically, almost to the point of extinction. It took almost 30 years for the recovery of this breed to begin. In the 1980s, several Pita Pintas were found in the Spanish province of Léon, the neighboring province of Asturias. These birds were used to bring back the population of these wonderful birds. You could find them at poultry shows for the first time in 1997 and then in 2003, an Asturian breeder’s association was founded to preserve, promote, and improve the breed. Their unique name comes from the Asturian language. ‘Pita’ means ‘hen’, and ‘pinta’ means ‘painted’. The name refers to their mottled or spotted pattern.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Pita Pinta is represented in four color varieties, and at Greenfire Farms we imported the two most flamboyant of those varieties, the black mottled (Pinta Negra) and red mottled (Pinta Roxa).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThey are considered to be dual purpose, with hens laying an abundance of eggs, roughly 250 eggs per year, so about 5 eggs per week. Roosters normally weigh in at a hefty 7 to 9 pounds and hens at about 5 to 6 pounds. This breed will reach maturity between 6 and 8 months of age.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Greenfire Farms","offers":[{"title":"Black Mottled Pita Pinta Asturiana Day-Old Chick Unsexed

Its history dates back to the 1500s, when a forward-crested bird appeared in local monasteries, and although the breed nearly went extinct in the mid-20th century, conservation efforts in Switzerland successfully revived it. The Spitzhauben later reached the United States through hatching eggs brought by a former German POW, forming the foundation of the American population. While these birds are admired for their active foraging, cold-hardiness, and impressive white egg production, American lines have developed several defects due to limited genetics. In 2013, Greenfire Farms imported high-quality silver Spitzhauben to strengthen and improve the breed. Today, these striking birds, known for their V-shaped combs, forward-sweeping crests, and eye-catching spangling, remain rare but make excellent and productive additions to backyard flocks.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\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\u003eAppenzeller Spitzhauben are small to medium-sized chickens native to the Appenzell canton of northeast Switzerland near the German and Austrian borders. (Switzerland is comprised of 26 districts called cantons.) Appenzell is an alpine region with a strong tradition of herding and other agricultural enterprises. Spitzhauben are ceremonial hats worn as part of elaborate costumes by the women of the region, and they sport a large crest on the top of the bonnet.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe exact origins of the Spitzhauben remain unclear. However, historical records suggest that by the 1500s, a distinct chicken breed with a forward-facing crest began to emerge in the monasteries of Appenzell. Given its unique appearance, it was naturally named the Appenzeller Spitzhauben, a name that reflects both its regional heritage and characteristic feather crest. In 1935, the Spitzhauben were officially exhibited in a national poultry show. However, by the 1950s, the breed was on the brink of extinction. In 1983, the Swiss Foundation for the Cultural and Genetic Diversity of Plants and Animals initiated a recovery project, successfully hatching an impressive 230 chicks that year. By 2019, the recorded population had grown to 243 hens and 153 cockerels, marking significant progress in the breed’s conservation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFollowing World War II, a German prisoner of war who spent time in a military detention camp in Alabama returned to his native country and acquired some silver Spitzhauben.

These eggs hatched what was to become the foundation stock of Spitzhauben in the United States.

Other common defects include non-standard leg color (they should be blue), and a comb on the rooster that is not properly separated into the ideal split horn-type comb.

Sulmtaler","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Sulmtaler is a rare and ancient chicken breed from the Styrian region of Austria. Here, among the forests and vineyards of this remote and fertile province the Sulmtaler grew to be renowned for its round, muscular body and the extraordinary quality of its meat. First described in the 1400s, the Sulmtaler is reputed to be one of the tastiest chickens in the world although it is also well regarded for its egg-laying ability. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOnce considered a delicacy in the royal Austrian and French courts, today Sulmtalers remain a favorite for gourmands in Central Europe. The roosters are large and have an incandescently bright metallic sheen to their feathers. The hens have an entirely different pattern that is no less beautiful for its muted cream and russet tones. Both rooster and hen share the delightful feather head crest and the wickel or “S” shaped comb that are the hallmarks of this fascinating and useful breed.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAbout a century ago a concerted effort was made to standardize the breed and exploit its strengths for agricultural production. The best specimens were gathered from this wine-growing region and the name “Sulmtaler” was given to the chickens produced under this more structured breeding program. The name derives from the remote and isolated Sulm valley in Austria, a fertile place bounded by mountain ranges and inhabited long ago by wandering tribes of prehistoric hunters. By 1915, the breed was well known in the area and admired for its fine qualities. Two world wars followed, and the Sulmtaler was all but lost in the chaos. However, a few dedicated hobbyists kept small Sulmtaler flocks, and the breed was saved.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eToday, you can carry on this tradition of stewardship.

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\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\u003eThe Bielefelder was developed relatively recently in (you guessed it!)

When you combine the precision of German craftsmanship with a passion for poultry, you get the ultimate “uber-chicken”: the Bielefelder!

The Crele color pattern, known in Germany as Kennsperber, is best described as a cuckoo red partridge. The Silver variety shares the same beautiful pattern but lacks the red and orange pigments, giving these birds a lighter, more refined appearance. In Germany, this variety is called the Silber-Kennsperber. Bielefelders are characterized by yellow legs, red earlobes, and a straight comb. We’ve observed that the Silver variety tends to be slightly more robust than the Crele, with a broader chest and a larger overall frame.\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\u003eBielefelders are prolific layers, consistently producing some of the largest brown eggs of any breed we keep at Greenfire Farms. Expect around 200-230 eggs per year (about 4 eggs per week) with shells in a beautiful brown hue, often accented with pink undertones and subtle speckles that set them apart from other breeds. Hens may occasionally go broody, but they are generally less consistent about sitting on their eggs and tend to be less protective during the laying period.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThese birds are truly large and make an excellent table breed, with roosters typically weighing 8-10 pounds and hens 6-7 pounds. Despite their size, both hens and roosters are remarkably gentle and docile. Calm and relaxed by nature, they’re less flighty than many other breeds and move at a leisurely pace, making them perfect for spacious pastures where they can forage unhurriedly while enjoying plenty of downtime.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBielefelders typically don’t roost very high, and due to their larger size, lower perches are recommended to prevent injury when they jump down. During winter, roosters tend to be less active, and egg viability often drops, while spring and summer see much higher success. Despite their large size, Bielefelders don’t require a massive pen. 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\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBreed Standard\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\u003eBielefelders are truly striking birds.

Excellent options include dark leafy greens such as spinach, Swiss chard, mustard greens, turnip greens, and beet greens, as well as sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, butternut squash, and avocado.

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.

In Germany, this variety is called the Silber-Kennsperber. Bielefelders are characterized by yellow legs, red earlobes, and a straight comb.

Although North Holland Blue chickens—meat birds developed in the Netherlands—were introduced to the area in the late 1920s, they initially failed to gain popularity. Determined to create a more appealing breed, poultry enthusiasts Friedrich Regenstein and J. Jobs began crossing the North Holland Blue with a mix of heavy and light breeds. Their efforts culminated in the development of the Niederrheiner, which was officially recognized in 1943. \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\u003eA breed census conducted in 1997 recorded 1,482 Niederrheiner chickens being kept by 138 breeders. By 2001, the breed was classified as \"endangered, category 3\" on the Red List maintained by the German Society for the Preservation of Old and Endangered Domestic Animal Breeds. Although its status improved to \"not at risk\" by 2007, it was once again listed as \"at risk\" in 2022 by the DAD-IS database. As of 2021, the total breeding population stood at 1,660 birds, including 308 cockerels and 1,352 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\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\u003eThe Niederrheiner is an impressive breed known for its striking looks, steady temperament, and hardiness in a wide range of climates. These large birds were developed as true dual-purpose fowl, excelling both in meat quality and egg production. Their broad, muscular build is complemented by a beautiful lemon-cuckoo plumage—soft, barred patterns of pale gold and gray that make them stand out in any flock, and their meat is highly regarded for being tender and flavorful! Hens are reliable layers of extra-large, tan eggs, and you can expect about 200 to 230 eggs per year from your ladies.\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 terms of behavior, Niederrheiners are remarkably calm, sociable, and non-aggressive. Hens typically will not go broody. At Greenfire Farms, they’ve proven to be gentle flock members—well-mannered and easy to manage, even in mixed-breed environments. Their docile nature and quiet demeanor make them especially suited for backyard settings or small farms looking for both beauty and utility.\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 is recognized in five distinct color varieties: crele, silver, lemon cuckoo, blue cuckoo, and birchen. At our farm, we currently raise the lemon cuckoo variety. While the breed is often described as auto-sexing, we’ve found that lemon cuckoo chicks are not reliably distinguishable by sex at hatch—other breeders in Europe report this same result in their flocks of lemon cuckoo Niederrheiners. Still, what these birds may lack in auto-sexing convenience, they more than make up for in visual appeal and practicality. The lemon cuckoos boast vibrant, golden-yellow barred plumage that sets them apart in any flock. Their eye-catching appearance and calm temperament make them a point of pride for any poultry enthusiast.\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 Standard\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 Niederrheiner adheres to a well-defined breed standard that emphasizes both utility and visual appeal. Birds should have a broad, deep body with a full, rounded breast and a strong, well-proportioned frame—traits that reflect their dual-purpose heritage. Roosters typically weigh between 8 to 10 pounds, while hens average around 5.5 to 6.5 pounds. Their plumage is a soft, barred pattern of pale lemon-yellow and light gray, giving the bird its signature \"lemon cuckoo\" appearance. They have pale-colored legs free of feathering, red earlobes, and a single upright comb. Roosters should exhibit a proud, upright carriage, while hens appear slightly more compact and rounded. Overall, the ideal lemon cuckoo Niederrheiner is not only striking in appearance but also structurally sound, calm in temperament, and true to its practical roots. The Niederrheiner tend to mature quicker than most breeds, with birds reaching maturity at 5 to 6 months!\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\u003eFor a detailed look at their standard of perfection, visit this link: https:\/\/www.dontclipmywings.com\/lemon-cuckoo-niederrheiner-standard-of-perfection\/\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\u003eHatching Eggs\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 incubate at 99.5F and 55% humidity.

ornamental breed that traces its roots to Japan, where it was meticulously developed to showcase dramatic and unusual features for both aesthetic appeal and cultural significance. \"Yamato\" refers to the historic region of Japan, while \"Gunkei\" roughly translates to \"military fowl,\" a nod to its bold appearance and powerful stature. While its dramatic look made it a favorite among Japanese poultry fanciers and even found admiration in royal courts, the Yamato Gunkei gradually became rare, nearly disappearing outside its native country. Today, thanks to dedicated breeders and international conservation efforts, this striking bird is being preserved and reintroduced to new audiences around the world.\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\u003eJapan is home to several distinct Shamo breeds, all sharing the same upright posture, muscular build, and intense presence, but ranging widely in size. These include the massive O-Shamo, mid-sized Chu-Shamo, and smaller ornamental types like the Yakido, Nankin Shamo, Kinpa, and Ko Shamo. Among the smaller varieties, the Yamato Gunkei stands apart as the largest and most powerfully built. With its exaggerated musculature and bold features, it represents the pinnacle of ornamental refinement within the compact Shamo class.\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\u003eThe Yamato Gunkei is a visual powerhouse—compact yet commanding, with a physique that demands attention! Their oversized breast muscles push through their plumage to reveal bold, crimson skin—a trait that makes this breed instantly eye-catching. But perhaps the most unforgettable characteristic is their deeply wrinkled face, with folds that begin forming within months and become more pronounced with age. Both hens and roosters also develop a prominent dewlap that grows larger over time, adding to the breed’s distinctive appearance. After years of dedicated flock development, we're thrilled to finally introduce the extraordinary Yamato Gunkei to our fellow poultry enthusiasts!\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\u003eYamato Gunkei are remarkably easy to tame—within no time, they'll be eating straight from your hand. Their quirky, \"ugly-cute\" charm, outgoing personalities, and surprisingly quiet demeanor make them ideal for backyard keepers looking for a low-noise companion with a big personality. With their dinosaur-like build and endearing oddness, they’re the perfect blend of prehistoric flair and pet-like friendliness… without disturbing the neighbors.\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 is not a prolific layer, but what they lack in egg production, they more than make up for in personality and visual appeal. Hens typically lay 3 to 4 eggs per week during their prime laying period—between maturity and around two years of age. After that, production slows to about 2 eggs per week. While hatching can present some challenges, we've seen excellent success over the past few years, with high fertility rates. We've also found that these birds thrive best in small flocks, with a ratio of 1 rooster per 8 hens. Both hens and roosters can be territorial and may show aggression toward new flock members, so careful integration is important. To accommodate their unique social needs, we've opted for multiple smaller flocks rather than one large communal group.\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've found Yamato Gunkei hens to be exceptionally broody and highly reliable when it comes to hatching chicks. Many of our customers have reported that their hens display excellent maternal instincts, often going above and beyond in protecting and caring for their young. Their strong brooding behavior makes them an ideal choice for those looking to skip the incubator altogether; simply place fertile eggs under a broody Yamato Gunkei and let nature take its course.\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 Standard\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Yamato Gunkei is recognized in 14 accepted color varieties: Akasasa (Black Breasted Red), Abura (Black Breasted Dark Red), Kisasa (Black Breasted Yellow), Shirosasa (Black Breasted White), Ginsasa (Black Breasted Silver), Kinsasa (Black Breasted Gold), Shiro (White), Kuro (Black), Asagi (Blue), Shojo (Brown), No-Shojo (Dark Brown), Goishi (Mottled Black and White), Suzunami (Cuckoo), and Goishiki (Five-Color).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBreed standards call for roosters to weigh between 5 to 6 pounds and hens between 4 to 5 pounds.

Emerging in the early 20th century, it traces its origins to the neighboring provinces of Namur and Liège, nestled within the fertile Haspengouw (Hesbaye) region.

We’ve found a rooster-to-hen ratio of 1:10 works well for this active breed. Hens seldom go broody, and those that do tend to be easily startled off the nest; something to keep in mind if you’re hoping for a dependable setter.

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.

It took almost 30 years for the recovery of this breed to begin. In the 1980s, several Pita Pintas were found in the Spanish province of Léon, the neighboring province of Asturias. These birds were used to bring back the population of these wonderful birds. You could find them at poultry shows for the first time in 1997 and then in 2003, an Asturian breeder’s association was founded to preserve, promote, and improve the breed. Their unique name comes from the Asturian language. ‘Pita’ means ‘hen’, and ‘pinta’ means ‘painted’.

Spitzhauben","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAppenzeller Spitzhauben are small- to medium-sized chickens native to the Appenzell canton of northeast Switzerland near the German and Austrian borders. (Switzerland is comprised of 26 districts called cantons.) Appenzell is an alpine region with a strong tradition of herding and other agricultural enterprises. Spitzhauben are ceremonial hats worn as part of elaborate costumes by the women of the region, and they sport a large crest on the top of the bonnet. In about the 1500s a chicken breed emerged in the monasteries of Appenzell, and the birds had a forward-thrusting crest of feathers on their heads. It was only natural that the birds would be locally called Appenzeller Spitzhauben.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAppenzeller Spitzhauben fall within the class of large fowl but are usually small to medium size. They are very active foragers and for their size lay relatively large white eggs and usually in significant numbers. Fertility tends to be very high for this breed. The breed is also cold hardy. The Spitzhauben is completely unrelated to the much larger and differently-shaped Appenzeller Barthuhner chicken breed that was also imported by Greenfire Farms. The sole link between these breeds is that they were developed centuries apart in the same region of Switzerland.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFollowing World War II, a German prisoner of war who spent time in a military detention camp in Alabama returned to his native country and acquired some silver Spitzhauben. With the help of his friend, Dr. Albert McGraw, the German brought some hatching eggs to the United States when he returned to gain citizenship to this country. These eggs hatched what was to become the foundation stock of Spitzhauben in the United States.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eToday Spitzhauben are very rare in the United States, and many members of the American gene pool have defects. For example, frequently the crest on the birds –which should be a forward-raking mohawk according to the breed standard– is instead often like a miniature version of a poofy Polish crest or sweeps backward. Other common defects include non-standard leg color (they should be blue), and a comb on the rooster that is not properly separated into the ideal split horn-type comb. Also, some American birds may have suppressed immune systems from inbreeding, and lymphoid leukosis, a disease that kills chickens, is common in the existing American Spitzhauben gene pool.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn 2013, Greenfire took an unusual step: We imported silver Spitzhauben even though this variety has been established in America for more than a half century. We made this extraordinary effort to help cure the defects in and fortify the limited gene pool of silver Spitzhauben in this country. We were lucky enough to import the offspring from a pair of silver Spitzhauben that recently took top honors at a national poultry show in Europe, and they meet the breed standard in a way that addresses many of the defects found in some American flocks. Given their scarcity, striking beauty, and propensity to produce lots of eggs, any poultry hobbyist should give serious consideration to keeping Spitzhauben in their backyard coop. You won't be disappointed.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003espitzhauben chicks for sale\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eswiss

His goal was to create a breed that was highly productive, medium-sized, good for the table, and had a unique appearance. After experimenting with the Lakenvelders, buff Orpingtons, buff Sussex, and Andalusians, he successfully created the Vorwerk that we know today. 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. These American bantams were not imported but instead developed in this country by a Minnesotan in 1966.\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\u003eIt is important to note that there is a lot of confusion about the difference or rather similarity between the Vorwerk and the Lakenvelder. There rae people that claim the golden Lakenvelders and Vorwerk are the same breed, but this is incorrect. While they do look very similar in terms of their coloration, there are many differences in their history, body confirmation, temperament, and production.

They display a unique two-toned color pattern of gold and black plumage. Their necks, hackles, and tail are black whereas their body and wings are gold. This creates quite a unique and elegant appearance.

They aren't overly flighty so they will do well in a coop but will also do moderately well in a free-range environment. The hens don't become very broody, meaning they don't typically want to sit on a clutch of eggs to hatch them out. So we recommend purchasing a good quality incubator if you wish to hatch their eggs. 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.
