Icelandic chickens originated with the settlement of Iceland in the tenth century by the Norse, who brought their farmstead chickens with them. (In Iceland they are known as Íslenska landnámshænan or “Icelandic chicken of the settlers.”) Over the centuries, selection favored breeders capable of feeding themselves on Icelandic smallholdings, and hens with reliable mothering skills. The result was a landrace of active, naturally healthy fowl adapted to harsh conditions. More Here.

The 55 Flowery Hen was created in 1955 by Martin Silverudd. They are one of many breeds developed by Silverudd in Sweden. Chicks are autosexing at hatch meaning that you can immediately tell the females from the males. The hens are prolific layers of large white eggs. Our flock consists of both beautiful color varieties, silver and gold. They are an active breed that does well in cold climates. The name “Flowery” refers to the white spot coverage of the hens but for which the roosters are completely missing. More Here.
