I’m curious about Finnish chicken breeds because I’m Finnish and have been reconnecting with my Finnish ancestry. Wikipedia lists 14 breeds but with no article links. It’s hard to find information about all the breeds online because, you know, it’s Finnish, so of course it’s obscure. If anyone knows anything about these breeds, and/or has photos, I’d be very interested. I’ve attached a photo of the breeds from that Wikipedia article for reference.

Oh but this is better..

and this is interesting enough regarding the different "lines"..

Seems highly unlikely (from what I've gathered) that any have been imported to the US. It's very costly for average folks.

Greenfire Farms is the most popular importer of new breeds and I've seen them have just about everything but YET to hear or see anything "Finnish".. A link to their site..

Figure I'll go ahead and link the wiki for anyone interested since I was double checking to make sure the info links I posted wasn't the same as their resource/references..

Hope this helps some!
