I like the part about jaerhorns not being flighty. I wonder about how they will do in the heat, though that may not be a problem for you if you move up the mountain. The Swedish Flower Hens are a Land Race breed, so they are tough little work horses, like the EO Basque. I was looking at the Holland; they lay nice white eggs too. Hendersons chicken chart says: The calm white-egger.
can be broody
cold hardy
moderately slow maturing
Established in 1949, after about 15 years of breeding experiments, as an improved Lamona, in other words, a yellow skinned meat bird that laid white eggs. The main improvement was it was heavier than the Lamona. One breed used had been imported from Holland, but other American breeds, including the Lamona, were mixed in as well. The White and Barred varieties were developed simultaneously, but different combinations of breeds were used.
Unknown in Holland & most of the rest of world. There is speculation that White Hollands have faded out of existence.
Good luck finding them. My pet chicken says they can't find a place that sell them.
Wait! I just remembered that Megan has Pita Pinta chickens! They lay a cream colored egg.
