    the Blackest Ones: on exploring the significance of Cemani mutations

    Belated dinner birds, to illustrate some of the odd unusual variations :) Technically some of them were just half a dinner or diet dinners lol I really need to work on their size. Especially the "blue" ones tend to be skinny. (Disclaimer: this are NOT Swedish black hens, it's just my farm flock...

    the Blackest Ones: on exploring the significance of Cemani mutations

    Beautiful bird! I've seen in my own project with the Swedish black hen mutts that there's really a lot of variation in the color of the skin, muscles and connective tissue. In my flock there's a wide variety splitting up and all parts of the birds (eyes, wattles/comb, skin, individual muscles...

    Bugs & Problems With The New Platform

    No hurry, I know that there's a lot of higher priority things to do right now (: but my name changed from Svarthöna to Svarthona. It may not be a big deal for most people around here, but it makes my Swedish soul cringe a bit. I'd really appreciate it if it could be changed back to what it used...

    Isbar thread

    That's really confusing. I don't know what that could mean. Isbars do not come in color patterns like barring or mottling. They are solid blue/splash/black in silver or gold (rare). The preferred color to breed for is a good blue, that's why they are usually called "blå" isbar (click here for...

    Isbar thread

    Quote: The Isbars are not autosexing... if you mean better sexing qualities than gold/silver is providing? Chicks just look like an average blue/black/splash birchen, this link has some nice pictures of Isbars of all ages But there are quite some things which could cause the misunderstanding...

    Isbar thread

    The Isbars don't lay a consistent shade of green, there's a lot of variation in the genepool. Can be anything from pale clean green to light olive. Green is blue with brown and depending on how saturated the brown is there will be varying shades of green. Not all of the hens lay speckled eggs...

    black meat breeds, silkies ect....

    There's a wide range of colors. There are birds which are indeed black/verydark all over - skin, flesh, membranes, the whole insides basically. But those purebred birds seem to be very rare, regardless of which black fleshed breed it is. I've even heard of sikies here in Sweden with perfectly...

    Swedish Flower Hen Thread

    It's most likely regular blue. I've never seen anybody mentioning lavender on Swedish sites and when there's a flock picture you can always see black and splash birds with the "gray" ones. White as in recessive or dominant white is unlikely to happen. White birds have an extremely hard time...

    Are Buff Orpingtons Considered " Hardy " ?

    Nah, I would not consider Orpingtons as cold-hardy, but then I would not consider 0 F as cold In general the smaller and meatier the comb/wattles the better in cold climate.
