I live in Sweden and I've never heard of such an agreement. However, the genebank doesn't exactly encourage the export of birds or eggs. If a genebank breeder sells eggs, the birds that hatch won't be genebank birds. Only chicks that are at least 8 weeks can be sold as genebank birds. I do think...

Swedish Flower Hen (Skånsk blommehöna)

I'm not sure what he looked like as a chick, but this is my cockerel at 3 and 9 months.

Thank you all! I appreciate your concern about predators and you're right - the run is not predator proof. Fortunately, this is not a very big problem where I live. And at least I don't think any predators would be able to get into the coop. TeaChick, I'd love to see your coop when it's finished :)

Thanks Troy6671 and chixgodiva!

This was a really nice sursprise! Thank you, BYC admin and all you other chicken enthusiasts! Glad you liked it and I hope it can inspire many others to build their own coop.

Thanks Bulldogma! I love your Pepparkakor Hönshus! I actually make a ginger bread house every Christmas. I guess this year it will have to be a ginger bread chicken coop

Thank you! I'll keep you posted on the progress of my gals. Maybe it's just a matter of time before your daughter will call herself Chickenanya too...

Great to know that the breed has made it across the Atlantic and that you're helping to preserve it These are my girls Best wishes from Sweden

I'm afraid I can't help you there. I have no idea what they are and neither does their owner. They're sort of medium sized but lay small eggs like I imagine that bantams would.

They are my summer chickens - three hens that I've borrowed for the summer from a colleague of mine. Feel a bit sad to have to return them soon though - especially after learning about their special skills

Nothing beats holding a freshly laid egg in your hand! Amazing!

Thanks for your kind words, Crazyfeathers and EastTXChickens! Tack, Vehve! This is in the very south of Sweden (Skåne) and it sure is spring here now. I've seen your coop - truly impressive!
