I got my Norwegian Jaerhons back!!

[L&Schickens]

In December 2 of my coops colapsed under the weight of the snow here. I had to sell most of my chickens, but a friend of mine took my Norwegian Jaerhons on loan while I gto my coops in order. well, I go them back yesterday! I am so happy to have them back. The are great layers and beautiful to look at.

I have never heard of them before what are they (hybird, or pure breed?) could you give me any more info on them? And congrads on getting them back, their very pretty birds.

Congratulations! I have always wanted to see Jaerhons.

Side note...Did I see you post your Wellsummers on the a horse forum awhile back? If so, beautiful birds.

We have a rainbow laying flock as well. I have been trying to search and see if there is any truth to the Purple sheen dark brown egg Corad Langshan pics I saw in a magazine.

It's fun to get all the colors. I have my coworkers convinced that the blue eggs are superior for baking.

Naughty, I know.

I love Jaerhons.

I hope I can add one or two to my flock at some point.

Your chickens are lovely, I'm glad you got them back! Sorry about your coop, the snow was nuts over here (Spokane) over the winter, too.

The only truly Norwegian breed, Jærhøns were developed around 1920 near the town of Stavanger. This is an active and hardy breed and lays a large white egg. Cocks weigh around 2 kilos (5 pounds) and hens about 1.5 kilos (3 1/2 pounds). Day-old chicks are sexable by color.

The Norwegian Jærhøne or Jaerhon. It was developed in the 1920s from native stock around the town of Stavanger on the southern Atlantic coast of Norway. The breed was first imported to North America in 1994 by Dr Bjorn Netland in Washington state. Jaerhons are small, hardy, and active birds that can fly well. Hens don't tend to go broody... but can wear them selves out with egg laying.

The Rooster in Picture #3 could pass for the TWIN BROTHER of my Rooster (which I believe to be a CROSS of RIR and White Rock, therefore a Red Sex-Link).

Good-Looking Rooster!
