Fifty Five Flowery were a commercial layer developed by Silverudd in Sweden in 1973. They did not breed true, but were made by a rotating cock system.
I don't think they ever took on.

Don't we have those? At least, according to the NPIP listing for WA, there's a White La Fleche breeder.


My vote is on Lemon Pyle Brahmas. Actually, ANY Brahmas from the UK, Belgium, or Aussie. They're SOOO much nicer than our US ones.

yah The genepool is very small, we need to expand

Actually they do breed true. I spent several hours over the past day or so reading on them. They were created to be used in the rotating cock system since
they have three sex linked genes (barred, silver, fast feathering). They were not created by the rotating cock system. They were created in 1955, hence
the name.
