Polish are a calm docile bird ideal for confinement or urban situations. The hens can be quite chatty and the roosters friendly. They can make great companions. Polish chickens have huge amounts of character, they’re great for pets, smaller gardens and they are very child friendly. Since they tend to be more docile they can be bullied by more aggressive and larger breeds. Polish chickens are happier...

History
Swedish Flower Chicken, (Skånsk blommehöna), got its name due to the speckles or “flowers” on the tips of their feathers. It is an ancient landrace, a Heritage Breed, which was first mentioned in folklore literature more than 300 years ago. It is likely, that the Romans brought chickens to Sweden and these birds then developed into the landrace breed we know today!
Remember a landrace and Heritage Chicken is a domesticated chicken, which has developed by local, natural processes in order to adapt to the specific local environment. It is in this way that a landrace differs from a formal breed (APA Standards of Perfection), which is bred to conform to a particular standard or purpose. A landrace breed share the same...
