During most of this time, they lived in small flocks among poor farmers, free ranging on small farmsteads. Over the centuries, several breeds emerged that became adapted to this situation. One of these were the Swedish Black Hen. Then, some hundred years ago, industrialisation came about, changing the way chickens were kept. The traditional breeds were rejected, paving the way for profilic egg layers and specialised meat birds. These new breeds were not kept free or in small numbers, but locked up in their thousands in factory like conditions. Since people saw no value in the traditional breeds, they went all but extinct. In the 1980's, the attitude started to change. People started to see that keeping the traditional breeds around had both ecological and cultural value. A major search started, and several old breeds were found, that had been kept by stubborn old farmers who had refused to give in to the industrialisation. The Svarthöna/Swedish Black Hen is are one of the most beautiful birds I have ever seen. Svarthöna's are very hard to find . They are the true melanistic breed black, the feathers ,skin, bones,and meat ,they lay a small to med eggd & have a great personality. We use only, all black birds for breeding. But in this breed or any other all black breed, you can get white toes , most will turn black. You can get silver/ white ear lobes this is not uncommon. The comb could get a reddish tint. It's called leakage, or an occasional white feather,if you get any of these traits, it is part of the breed. However, you should NOT use them for breeding. They should be culled from the flock. Please familiarize yourself with the risks of incubating shipped eggs. I cannot be held responsible if your eggs do not hatch. There are just too many variables to expect me to be responsible for eggs that do not hatch. Rest assured, that I check fertility every Monday, & Thursday .. I also have had over 90% success rates on my last 2 incubators. So...if your gonna whine & moan or try to return your eggs (for any reason), move along & find another seller. Please check my feedback. I am as honest of a seller that you could ever find. Feedback should be for the packing/shipping and any communication. I cannot guarantee anything due to the handling by the postal service and the variables on your end. (Experience/equipment). However most of my customers usually get good hatch rates. I also try to send lots of extras...as I want happy customers.
    PLEASE LEAVE FEEDBACK.

    **I have pep talks with the girls daily trying to motivate them**
    If you want your eggs shipped on a specific day. Please let me know prior to buying.
    Feedback should be left when your order arrives.
    All orders receive extra Eggs if available.
    Eggs may be French Black Copper Maran's, Ayam Cemani or Svarthöna's.
    Greenfire Farms offers day old UNSEXED chicks for around 0 each (before shipping costs are added in).
    Consequently, I knew that I was gonna have to establish my flock the working man’s way…..via fertile hatching eggs shipped through the United States Postal Service.
    Shipping eggs via USPS is a TOTAL CRAP SHOOT.
    If you don’t understand the HUGE RISKS of shipping fragile single celled embryos though the automated machines of the modern postal sorting system….then PLEASE do some research before buying eggs from me or any other egg seller on eBay!!!
