Your Swedish Flower Hen questions answered…

𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙞𝙨 𝙖 𝙧𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙖𝙜𝙚 𝙗𝙧𝙚𝙚𝙙 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙬𝙝𝙮 𝙙𝙤𝙚𝙨 𝙞𝙩 𝙢𝙖𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙧?

Swedish Flower Hens are a true landrace, developed naturally over generations rather than being intensively bred for commercial traits. This means they’ve kept their strong instincts, resilience, and natural balance. They’re not just chickens — they’re a living link to poultry history worth preserving.

𝘼𝙧𝙚 𝙎𝙬𝙚𝙙𝙞𝙨𝙝 𝙁𝙡𝙤𝙬𝙚𝙧 𝙃𝙚𝙣𝙨 𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙩𝙝𝙮 𝙗𝙞𝙧𝙙𝙨?

Yes — their diverse genetics help make them naturally robust and hardy. Because they haven’t been pushed for extreme production, they tend to avoid many of the health issues seen in highly commercial breeds. With good care, they’re active, resilient birds that thrive in a range of conditions.

𝙒𝙝𝙮 𝙘𝙝𝙤𝙤𝙨𝙚 𝙎𝙬𝙚𝙙𝙞𝙨𝙝 𝙁𝙡𝙤𝙬𝙚𝙧 𝙃𝙚𝙣𝙨 𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙗𝙧𝙚𝙚𝙙𝙨?

They offer the best of both worlds — practical and beautiful. You get hardy, good all-round birds that are productive without losing personality. Every hen is unique, and they bring character as well as purpose to any flock.

𝙃𝙤𝙬 𝙜𝙤𝙤𝙙 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙮 𝙖𝙩 𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙖𝙜𝙞𝙣𝙜?

Very good. Swedish Flower Hens are active, curious foragers that love to range and search for their own food. This makes them economical to keep and great for gardens where you want birds that naturally keep themselves busy.

𝘼𝙧𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙮 𝙘𝙖𝙡𝙢 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙛𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙙𝙡𝙮?

Yes — they’re generally calm, steady birds with curious rather than flighty temperaments. They usually integrate well into mixed flocks and are easy to manage day to day.

𝘿𝙤 𝙎𝙬𝙚𝙙𝙞𝙨𝙝 𝙁𝙡𝙤𝙬𝙚𝙧 𝙃𝙚𝙣𝙨 𝙡𝙖𝙮 𝙜𝙤𝙤𝙙 𝙚𝙜𝙜𝙨?

Yes — they are steady, reliable layers, typically producing eggs daily from February to October each year, under natural conditions. They are not extreme production hybrids, but they give consistent eggs alongside strong natural health and longevity.

𝘼𝙧𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙮 𝙡𝙤𝙬 𝙢𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙣𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚?

They are generally straightforward to keep once established. Their hardiness and natural balance mean they cope well in a range of environments and don’t require intensive management compared to many production breeds.

𝘼𝙧𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙮 𝙖 𝙙𝙪𝙖𝙡-𝙥𝙪𝙧𝙥𝙤𝙨𝙚 𝙗𝙧𝙚𝙚𝙙?

Yes — they are a traditional farmyard type bird kept for both eggs and meat, although many keepers value them equally for their beauty, temperament, and heritage genetics.

𝙒𝙝𝙮 𝙞𝙨 𝙜𝙚𝙣𝙚𝙩𝙞𝙘 𝙙𝙞𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙞𝙩𝙮 𝙞𝙢𝙥𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙖𝙣𝙩?

Because it helps keep the breed strong and adaptable. Swedish Flower Hens come from multiple surviving farm lines, which gives them more variation and resilience than many highly standardised modern breeds.

𝘼𝙧𝙚 𝙎𝙬𝙚𝙙𝙞𝙨𝙝 𝙁𝙡𝙤𝙬𝙚𝙧 𝙃𝙚𝙣𝙨 𝙚𝙣𝙙𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙙?

Yes. They were once close to extinction in the 1970s, surviving from just a few small farm flocks in Skåne (Vomb, Tofta and Esarp). Today they are officially classed as “endangered-maintained” by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), Domestic Animal Diversity Information System (DAD-IS), meaning they are still at risk but protected through active breeding programmes and gene bank conservation. Population numbers have recovered but remain limited and carefully managed to preserve genetic diversity.

𝘾𝙖𝙣 𝙎𝙬𝙚𝙙𝙞𝙨𝙝 𝙁𝙡𝙤𝙬𝙚𝙧 𝙃𝙚𝙣𝙨 𝙡𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙞𝙣 𝙢𝙞𝙭𝙚𝙙 𝙛𝙡𝙤𝙘𝙠𝙨?

Absolutely. They are adaptable and generally non-aggressive, making them a strong fit for mixed flocks alongside other breeds.

I'm very flattered that someone from the USA 🇺🇸 completed my Swedish Flower Hen order form recently. Unfortunately I cannot help - my order forms are only for the UK 🇬🇧 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿.

There are many Flower Hen keepers in multiple countries, please use these links in the attached post to find a Flower Hen group near you 🙂 good luck 🪶🇸🇪🐔💐

I received another great question recently:

“𝗖𝗮𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝗵𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗲𝗴𝗴𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗨𝗦𝗔?”

The short answer is — no, I don’t post eggs internationally, including to the USA.

As much as I’d love to, long-distance shipping affects hatch rates, and there are also strict import and biosecurity rules around poultry and eggs. My priority is always giving birds (and new owners) the best possible start — and international shipping just doesn’t support that.

That said — if you’re outside the UK, you’re definitely not alone 🙂

There are growing Swedish Flower Hen communities around the world, and your best option is always to connect with breeders and keepers within your own country.

Here are some Facebook groups to get you started:
