Poultry
Rasramar
When the native breeds of poultry are described, it is done in broad rasramar. It is imperative that a landrace is allowed to vary! That means in plain language that you are not allowed to put up one-sided breeding objectives when selecting livdjuren. Examples of such unilateral breeding goal is maximum egg production or a standardized appearance. On this website reproduced rasramarna briefly. In the book Gene banks and rasramar are full rasramar.
A rasram should not be confused with a breed standard which consists of one exterior (appearance) ideal image. With rasram provided a record of the variation that landrace so far has shown, without signs of recent crossings.
There has never been wild fowl in our part of the world. Tamhönsens wild species of origin is the red jungle fowl Gallus gallus, first domesticated in India about 5000 years ago. The first tamhönsen came here about 2000 years ago. As time developed our domestic custom breeds. Local conditions affecting, so that different strains / local breeds were formed. Only towards the end of the 1800s began large amounts of foreign, specially processed poultry (mainly värprasen Leghorn) to replace the old faithful servants of the peasantry roost. Our old native breed chickens allegedly early to be extinct. The truth was rather that no one would know of them! Some small residual populations were found and collected in the 1980s.When the native breeds of poultry are described, it is done in broad rasramar.

Background and conservation
SLK was established in 1986 and works including to preserve and propagate them in the living gene banks. SLK does not seek standardization and genetic uniformity of races, but want to preserve native breed to the variation and diversity. The same principle applies to chickens, ducks and geese. Conservation work is done in close cooperation with the responsible authority, the Board of Agriculture, which reports to the FAO.
Description and properties
Generally breeds climatically hardy, resistant to disease and have good parental characteristics. 30-40% is normal incubation in a rural poultry flock. Higher percentage of bantam. 100-200 eggs per year is normal. Landrace Fowl warps eggs with off-white to light brownish shell. An egg for a medium sized native breed hen weighing about 50-55g. Larger hens warps typically larger eggs than smaller - but they also eat more!
In richer areas and environments could rel. big and strong local breeds developed, while in poorer areas could only feed the smaller animals. In terms of size breeds can be divided into four groups for hens weight: Big Landrace about 2-2.5 kg, medium 1.5-2 kg, small 1-1.5 kg and miniature 0.5-less than 1 kg. Roosters are usually 30 - 40% larger than the hens.
Spring color is often very beautiful, with large variation between and within breeds.

Skånsk blommehöna (Swedish Flower Hen)
From the Sydskånska plain will this our largest native breed hen. In the villages Vomb, Tofta and Esarp found farm flocks that make up today's blommehöns. Chickens breed has been named after older people in Skåne who spoke of them as "di old flower mede."
Characteristics
Body shape is round and robust. Spring color has been the character of the white feather tips of different colored background. The primer can be black, blue (gray), wild-colored (red-orange roosters and hens brown) or light yellowish. like most other breeds of chickens have blommehöns a simple and serrated ridge. Some animals may tassel (spring bush) on the head. Weight 2 to 2.5 hen, rooster 2.5-3.5 kg.
